I think "dead" is overstating the case. The original author is no longer interested in maintaining rpmstrap, and it would certainly benefit from updating to support newer RPM-based distros, but that doesn't mean that someone else can't take on the role of maintainer. The page Cesare linked to indicates the original author would welcome someone doing so.
I already have too many things on my plate to commit to taking over maintenance myself, but I would find being able to easily set up chroot for different distros useful, so if someone else does so, I should at least be able to test and provide the occasional patch. But I think this is all orthogonal to this bug - the proposed update fixes the problem that this bug is about, and the rpmstrap package is now useful again, albeit for bootstrapping rather old releases on x86 only. -- rpmstrap using /bin/sh when it should use /bin/bash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
