#36318: Update rpm to 4.9? ---------------------+--------------------- Reporter: twic@… | Owner: n3npq@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: rpm | ---------------------+--------------------- Comment (by twic@…): I assume Ryan means consistency with the other RPM ports, all of which have version numbers; if there are several forks of equal validity, then it's inconsistent for one to not have a version number. I should say that i have no knowledge of the history of RPM; i couldn't find anything about it post-2007 with a quick google, but would be interested to learn. 4.9 is not a successor to 4.4? What about 4.5? So, we would have to have a new port for 4.9? Or, perhaps, for the fork that 4.9 is part of? Any idea how much work that would be? Is that a question of copying the 4.4, 4.5, or 5.x portfile and hacking? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36318#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
