The patch seems to be available since long

 -> http://sourceforge.net/p/sblim/bugs/2499/#eadb

Could you please have a look?

Comment 2 Vitezslav Crhonek 2014-11-06 14:30:04 UTC

Well, fixing this issue doesn't make much sense to me:

1) I wonder why sblim-sfcb is in EPEL, it's part of RHEL for longer time. Shouldn't it be removed from EPEL then? (I wasn't able to find it in Fedora packaging guidelines.)

2) low/low and it's resolved by using systemd in recent Fedora/RHEL releases.

But okay, if you're interested...

  Yes, if the package is available via RHEL, it makes sense to retire it from EPEL repository.

Please do retire it from EPEL.

Thank you.
