The current version of the rpm port is 4.4.9:
browser:trunk/dports/sysutils/rpm/Portfile
There is a separate port for 4.5:
browser:trunk/dports/sysutils/rpm45/Portfile
The latest stable version upstream is 4.9.1.3:
http://www.rpm.org/wiki/Download
And, FWIW, that's what's in current versions of Fedora:
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/rpm
There is a 4.10.0:
http://www.rpm.org/wiki/News
But it's not widely used yet.
Is there any chance of updating MacPorts's version of RPM to something
more recent? Is this something i could help with?
I realise that there are also 5.x versions, but this is a fork. I'm
interested in having a recent 4.x version for consistency with Fedora and
related Linuxes.
