Hi,
while going over package1.0[1] for this year's GSoC project I noticed
some problems in where port rpm (implemented in portrpm.tcl[2]) puts the
generated rpm packages (specifically a missing default value for
package.destpath). I considered attempting to fix those, but it is not
clear to me what purpose this code ever served and I don't think it is
still being used.
Is anyone still using port rpm/srpm/dpkg? If not I would remove those
and their dependencies.
To: Anders, because he was the last to commit a functional change to
srpm and rpm.
