The rpmbuild package should be removed from ftp archive. > Yes. This weekend I ran into Mike Schultheiss (he is a Progeny alum) and I happened to mention rpmstrap. Mike mentioned that Sam Hart (also a Progeny alum and the upstream for rpmstrap) dropped development quite a long time ago. Mike mentioned that Progeny formerly used the tool for helping to develop their rpm-based distro(s). However, as Progeny is nw out of business, I think it is highly unlikely that rpmstrap will ever resucitated.
