[tools-pmc] Fw: [CQ 7705] createrepo Version: 0.10

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tools PMC, 

This CQ is a "works with"
request that needs our discussion and approval. 
https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7705

For a reminder as to what that means,
see http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf

On the surface it seems like a good
case for "works with". My questions, which I'll ask in the CQ
are if this is "pervasive" (e.g. already on (Linux) users machines),
is it valid only for one vendor's distribution of Linux, or many, and if
the "function" does anything useful if not present ... while
the CQ says it "fails gracefully" if not present, I assume it
still _requires_ a user to get the prerequisite package if they want the
function? (Or, is it "built in" to most distributions). Lastly,
are there other alternatives a user might want to use to produce an rpm-like
package? 

Or, perhaps of of you on the PMC already
know the answers to these questions? 

Thanks,
