#36318: Update rpm to 4.9?

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?
