At least, rkhunter does not need it at all.


But perl-Net-SSLeay does and this is an dependency of rkhunter...

However, perl-Net-SSLeay is in base! Does rkhunter requires newer
perl-Net-SSLeay than 1.30?

Uhm wait a second i mixed that up. The newer rpmforge perl-AnyEvent
needs a new version of perl-Net-SSLeay. So actually you were right
blacklisting perl-AnyEvent should do the trick. Sorry for the confusion.

Time to start fixing this mess ? Who is interested to make a list of base packages that RPMforge replaces, and tag these SPEC files accordingly ?

We discussed this previously, creating a new repository (eg. extras) and use a different tag (eg. rfx) for packages that replace base.

Beware the we need to do this for RHEL3, RHEL4 and RHEL5 and in case the tag is different for RHEL3, RHEL4 and RHEL5 (eg. dstat) this would mean:

%{?el6:# Tag: rfx}
%{?el5:# Tag: rfx}
%{?el4:# Tag: rf}
%{?el3:# Tag: rf}

Which is better IMO than forking into 4 SPEC files and maintaining each seperately.

Once we have a list and agree on the above changes for those packages we replace, I will remove the original packages from the repositories and add the extras repository to the rpmforge-release package. The repository metadata backend already understands the scenario, as does the buildtool.
