Fedora Project to help revitalize RPM

-=Moridin=- writes: "The Fedora Project has announced plans to revitalize RPM, the package manager used by many Linux distros. According to the announcement, "Job #1 is to take the current RPM codebase and clean it up, and in doing so work with all the other people and groups who rely on RPM to build a first-rate upstream project." For more information, see the the RPM web site and the new wiki-based RPM FAQ.

The issue of RPM's upstream development has been a thorny issue ever since Jeff Johnson, the original maintainer of RPM, left Red Hat."
