#38456: Port request: rpm_select (and other rpm port improvements) ------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: rpm rpm45 rpm52 rpm53 rpm54 | ------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by larryv@…): Well, this has certainly gone off topic. PureDarwin and rpm and yum and dpkg are all well and good, but the fact of the matter is that our primary platform is OS X. Every additional port and every additional bit of functionality adds complexity and makes support more difficult, especially when maintenance tails off. “Because I personally use it” or “because someone could maybe use it” are not sufficient reasons to keep stuff around. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38456#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
