Description
The current version of the rpm port is 4.4.9:

There is a separate port for 4.5:
https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/sysutils/rpm45/Portfile
The latest stable version upstream is 4.9.1.3:

And, FWIW, that's what's in current versions of Fedora:

There is a 4.10.0:
But it's not widely used yet.
Is there any chance of updating MacPorts's version of RPM to something more recent? Is this something i could help with?
I realise that there are also 5.x versions, but this is a fork. I'm interested in having a recent 4.x version for consistency with Fedora and related Linuxes.
