I've attached a patch that works, but now it's failing on the configure step:

configure: error: unable to find internal JavaScript library

I think it means SpiderMonkey, but when I port install SpiderMonkey, it still fails. Not sure how to proceed.

I'm thinking that the easiest way would be to delete the outdated "rpm-devel" port.

If you want to follow RPM development, it would be better to use CVS and devtool...

​http://rpm5.org/sources.php

cd rpm
. devtool.bashrc
devtool checkout
devtool autogen

Removed port in r59884.

The only reason I want the rpm is for the rpmbuild binary. Is there any way to just build that without having to satisfy the dependencies for the other stuff?

Replying to carlo.cabanilla@…:

The only reason I want the rpm is for the rpmbuild binary.

rpmbuild is included in any of the regular rpm ports, since ports include both runtime and developer files.

You would need to install all requirements though, if you don't want that you can use ​the RPM5 package.
