It saddens me that it has come to this. But the rpm-rs crate doesn't appear to have an active maintainer. Its old dependencies are making it difficult to keep our dependencies fresh. So we have little choice but to cut our ties so we can modernize. Issue #619 tracks restoring the functionality. And we keep the code around to remind us of the sadness.

I'm a co-maintainer on the fork but for the time being we're still waiting to see if he author reappears to avoid an unnecessary splintering. Probably we will just start publishing under a new name in a few weeks. Have you seen indygreg/PyOxidizer#608 ? |

did the maintainer ever reappear or is the fork the way forward? |

Yes to both. The fork is the way forward but the original maintainer did eventually show back up. |

I had to rip out RPM reading support from linux-package-analyzer because the rpm-rs crate appears to be unmaintained and its lack of modern dependencies is making it difficult to keep dependencies modern.
This issue tracks restoring the functionality.
