[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPM v6 package format, first public draft for commenting (Discussion #2374)

[Panu Matilainen]

Again, this is a facelift and not a redesign. V6 is more about clarfiying dark corners and dropping obsolete, limited formats than adding anything new to avoid scope explosion. So we're not planning to add support for any new payload formats, just dropping the old 2GB limited payload format in favor of the variant v4 already uses to support large files. That code is already there and quite well tested, whether something else would be "better" storage-wise is not particularly interesting.
