#41698: rpm: use libmagic instead of bundled version ---------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: n3npq@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: rpm | ---------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by egall@…): Replying to [comment:2 afb@…]:
RPM does this on purpose, to avoid external dependencies for critical components (popt, file, db, lua)...
Is there any reason for using the newer libmagic (missing formats, etc), especially for the ancient rpm ?
For the same reason that MacPorts usually tries to use its own libraries instead of letting ports use their own bundled versions, I'd guess... wiki:FAQ#ownlibs -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41698#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
