Description

The RPM Package Manager is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages. Each software package consists of an archive of files along with information about the package like its version, a description, and the like. There is also a related API ("Application Program Interface"), permitting advanced developers to bypass 'shelling out' to a command line, and to manage such transactions from within a native coding language.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 4.18.2, as upstream numbers it.

archivers/rpm4: derive the platform directory name on every 4.x release

rpm names its platform macro directories after the configure host triplet, which carries the OS major version, so they install as <arch>-midnightbsd4. RPM_OPSYS only appended the version when OSREL was exactly "4.1", so on any other 4.x the packing list expanded to <arch>-midnightbsd and all 67 platform entries were reported missing: /usr/local/lib/rpm/platform/amd64-midnightbsd4/macros is missing from the plist ... (67 total) Fake failed. Drop the version test. ${OSREL:R} yields 4 for any 4.x, which is what rpm uses. Both flavors build and package here on 4.2, which reproduced the failure before the change.

archivers/rpm4: fix MidnightBSD platform plist

Use the platform suffix generated by each supported MidnightBSD release so fake plist validation matches the installed RPM macro files. AI-Assisted-by: Codex <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Lucas Holt <[email protected]>
