Update rpm to 4.9? — at Version 1

Reported by: twic@… Owned by: n3npq@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.1.2
Keywords: Cc: afb@…
Port: rpm

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

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:

And, FWIW, that's what's in current versions of Fedora:

There is a 4.10.0:

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.
