Original maintainer still develops rpm - at this moment version 4.4.7 at http://wraptastic.org/ (while rpm.org starts from older 4.4.2 codebase), there is active mailing list, so we have two running projects with the same name which is bad thing and will cause confusion. I hope that there will be one util-linux and one rpm project. > Regards, > -`J' -- Arkadiusz Mi?kiewicz PLD/Linux Team arekm / maven.pl http://ftp.pld-linux.org/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
