EPEL Fwd: dar is missing from 6

[MegaBrutal]

Hello,

I'm a CentOS user.

I see "dar" is not included in EPEL 6, while it is there in EPEL 5. I
suppose it's left out of EPEL 6 by mistake. Please anyone who has the
authority to do so, fix it!

I also can't find "dar" in other repositories. If I download it from
EPEL 5, I can't install it because of missing depedency
(libcrypto.so.6). Compiling dar from source is Hell. So I really need
an up-to-date "dar" package which is compatible with CentOS 6.4.


Regards,
MegaBrutal

The owner of the dar package is xris, lists(a)forevermore.net, I have cc'd
him to see if there were problems with making it for EL-6.

Turns out the package was supposed to have been orphaned a while ago and
has been silently being rebuilt for a while. It has now been orphaned in
all releases so someone can take it over if they need to do so.

Tt seems to build, in its latest forms from Fedora and 
RawHide, trivially.  SRPMs are now at:
