Description

Homebrew is considering adding rpm4.11: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/19557

Seeing as afb's the one opening that pull request, just opening this ticket to remind him to duplicate his work for MacPorts, too. :-P

See #36318 for some existing discussion on updating rpm in MacPorts.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

See #36318 for some existing discussion on updating rpm in MacPorts.

right, that's the one I was looking for...

I didn't think the problem that MacPorts was having was that there were too few versions of RPM ?

Would like some clarity on the future of "port rpm", before adding any more ports or confusion...

And Homebrew has been considering adding it for 2 years now, so they are certainly taking their time.

Meanwhile we have the MacPorts "archives" and the Homebrew "bottles", but no packages except for .pkg

Got closed (by homebrew), will leave the rpm decisions to #38456 and #36318.
