rpm53 request

Description

We have ports rpm (4.4), rpm45 (4.5), rpm50 (5.0.3), rpm51 (5.1.9), rpm52 (5.2.1)... should there also be an rpm53 port? The current stable version of rpm is 5.3.6.

Actually we only have "rpm" and "rpm52" in practice, with the others more or less abandoned...

It's possible to build rpm 5.3 and 5.4 and HEAD directly from the CVS using "devtool macports". But there was not enough interest in "RPM ACID" or any of the other development to make a port.

In fact there's no ongoing work on package management - in ports - at all, so I left RPM at 5.2.1. But I suppose one could upgrade rpm52 to rpm53 (probably rename it to "rpm5" or something)

What is the main reason to upgrade it ? Is it covered at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/rpm ?

The current version is actually 5.3.11, if it matters:

I was referring to http://rpm5.org/ which says the latest is 5.3.6. The only reason I suggested updating rpm / adding a new rpm53 port is that a newer version exists than the newest one available in MacPorts.

Okay. But upgrading to a newer major release is something else than just bumping a new minor version ? And so far things (e.g. python2.7) were backported to 5.2.1 rather than trying to build 5.2.2 from the source repository...

Like r73022 or r76760

Replying to afb@…:

There's 5.4 too now.

http://rpm5.org/files/rpm/rpm-5.4/

So separate ticket for that?

Port rpm53 was added in r91205, and port rpm54 was added in r91206...

That was probably a rather poor decision, might as well stuck with rpm52.
