Suggested patch

Description of problem:
The readline package in rawhide will be soon updated to new 6.0 release which changes the license to GPLv3+. As bti is GPLv2, it should be built with the older readline (packaged in compat-readline5) to avoid licensing incompatibility or switched to libedit which is compatible with GPLv3, but doesn't support UTF-8.

Comment 1 Michel Lind 2009-08-20 06:25:52 UTC
I've just built 023 for Rawhide, and patch it to use compat-readline5-devel. Upstream confirmed that the license will remain at GPLv2, and would hopefully make the readline location configurable in a future release.
