Don't know, didn't try. It was just fallout from upgrading rpm to
python2.7 without having a proper way to handle multiple pythons.

"Repoview requires:
	* ​Kid templating engine (version 0.6.3 and above)
	* ​Yum system updater (version 3.0 and above)
	* Python-2.5 or Python-2.4 with cElementTree
	* Python-sqlite"

And I don't count having multiple variants as a particularly good
way. It would also help if upstream didn't just hardcode /usr.

But If upgrade my way out of this, I would need to touch yum etc...
Not sure if anyone actually uses these ports, for it to be worth it ?

I think repoview might be the only thing in the world that uses Kid.
If anyone else does, there's apparently a replacement called "Genshi".


Should we save repoview, now that MacPorts doesn't use .rpm ? Dunno.

If so, it would need to handle the conflicting createrepo and then
the conflicting rpm. Which doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun.

Fixing the xml code in repoview is probably quite trivial, though...

PS. But it looks like py27-celementtree has some 64-bit issues anyway.
And the irony is that repoview doesn't even use it, but elementtree.

So it should probably be removed again, i.e. the addition reverted.
