How about we simply apply the patch that Panu suggested in the current
version so the conflict is gone (i.e. identical md5sum between RHEL
rpm-build and EPEL rpmdevtools), and wait to push this new version
until after 5.3.
Yeah, on a 2nd thought, this is probably be the best approach. I'll look into
it. Differing timestamps on multiply owned files don't cause conflicts, they
just show up in "rpm -V" output, right?
What else has changed?
Over 2 years of bug fixes and enhancements, too much to list here. But it's
roughly [0] what's in %changelog between Oct 25 2006 and today in
https://fedorahosted.org/rpmdevtools/browser/rpmdevtools.spec?rev=b0fe7d3...
[0] Some changes that aren't "backwards compatible enough" and thus
inappropriate for EL have been omitted, and some additional backwards compat
things have been added.
