Description Jim Faulkner 2010-05-31 15:29:02 UTC 
app-text/rpl is both old and is not free software.  Debian has a python-based replacement of the same name that is licensed under the GPL:

http://rpl.sourceforge.net/
http://packages.debian.org/sid/rpl

Debian's rpl also has a "backup" feature which is not found in the C version.  app-text/rpl should be replaced with the debian version.


Reproducible: Always
