[yocto] The differences between rpm 4.x and rpm 5.x in Morty (Poky 2.2)

[Zoran Stojsavljevic]

Hello Ross,

Copy that. I can add smartpm for now for Morty, there is still time to
experiment. I guess, I'll even wait for Rocko (Poky 2.4). I guess, this one
will come October/November time frame.

I still need to learn (much) more, to understand beyond classical Linux
environment I am very well familiar with. Yocto is yet another, different
beast for configuring and making final distros... :-)

Thank you,
Zoran
