Bug 152435 – app-arch/rpm dependency - removal request

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alon Bar-Lev (RETIRED) 2006-10-22 14:13:09 UTC]

Hello,

The following packages uses app-arch/rpm, which is in maintainer-needed status, and it is depended of dev-libs/beecrypt that seems to be unmaintained upstream (This is the reason why I've looked at this). The app-arch/rpm2targz alternative seems like a nice one, there is also an rpm eclass that uses it.

Please try to remove the app-arch/rpm dependency.

Thanks!

i dont understand the point of this bug

if you're trying to get beecrypt/rpm removed from the tree, it isnt going to happen

as for alien/yum/deltarpm, those obviously need rpm

Well... I don't understand the point of having dependency that is not maintained.
If you don't think so, please close this bug.

i dont seen any open bugs for rpm so there's no point in removing it

people are using it
