#51676: rpm54 @5.4.15 should move away from using xar-devel --------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: aszostak@… | Owner: n3npq@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: rpm54 | --------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by afb@…): It is "illegal" to use system libraries in MacPorts, so that would probably mean packaging http://opensource.apple.com/source/xar/ as a port. But since noone is using the xar format anyway, might as well stick with the old rpm format ? Especially if the xar project has died (even more). Then again the "alive" project also failed to release 1.6.0 (thus the use of "xar-devel"), so there's not *that* much difference from Google Code. It has already been removed from Debian, for failing to maintain and secure itself: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574023 -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51676#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
