Some quick examples of bash code:

diff <(rpm -qp --requires perl-HTTP-Server-Simple-PSGI-0.14-2.fc14.noarch.rpm) <(rpm -qp --requires perl-HTTP-Server-Simple-PSGI-0.14-2.fc15.noarch.rpm)

< rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2011-05-19 19:29:38 UTC 
rpmdiff from the rpmlint package already does that, I don't see a reason to duplicate the functionality in rpmdev-diff.

$ rpmdiff perl-HTTP-Server-Simple-PSGI-0.14-2.fc14.noarch.rpm perl-HTTP-Server-Simple-PSGI-0.14-2.fc15.noarch.rpm
