Description Daniel Mach 2018-03-28 07:32:23 UTC 
The DNF team needs libsmartcols
in order to deliver YUM 4 (DNF 2) for RHEL 7.
It is used to display program output in the command line.

If the change isn't too invasive,
could you cherry-pick the latest smartcols from upstream?
Comment 1 Karel Zak 2018-04-03 10:18:36 UTC 
It seems as an acceptable change according to git-diff.

The current upstream version provides many new features, but all should be implemented backwardly compatible. The important is that currently RHEL does not contains the library with public API. So, all is about util-linux only.

All we need is to be sure that utils like lsblk, findmnt, lsmem (etc.) have still the same output formatting. I'll provide simple tests for our QA.
