No problem. I suppose we could let you have vacation once in a great while. :)

Fair enough on the package. I hadn't gone further upstream for investigation, partly because the source packages still seem to be carried forward, and the libvpd binary package is still in the distro. Thus my confusion...

I guess we'll drop it from our spin and see who suddenly can't live without it...

As we are working on our spin, we noticed that the lsvpd RPM package is not available on 6.3 and 6.4, but the SRPM is. I also see that the binary is available generally on the other 6- versions.

Any particular reason for that, or is it just an oops? I did look at upstream's docs and didn't see a deprecation notice or any mention in the 6.4 Technical Notes other than a bug fix involving it, so I assume it's still in the distro.

Please point me to what I'm missing (again) :)



Sorry for the delay, I was out of the office and Connie was picking up all the slack I was leaving behind.

The latest version of lsvpd from upstream is PPC only from my reading of the upstream docs:
