Hi there I'm a contributor to the Yocto Project [1] and OpenEmbedded [2]. The Yocto Project's reference distribution (Poky), which makes use of OpenEmbedded, uses RPM packaging by default. As you would imagine, we build and package popt as a dependency of RPM, but recently there have been some questions over how well maintained the popt library is - looking at the repository [3] the last commit appears to be in 2017 and the last official release appears to be 1.16 in 2010. Fedora, OpenSUSE and Debian all appear to be building the 1.16 release with some patches on top, as we are doing. The homepage links on rpm5.org now seem to be defunct. I understand that RPM isn't the only user of popt, but given that RPM is arguably the *main* user, are there any current plans to do any further work on it? (I'm not asking because I think there are missing features, it's more about there being someone actively maintaining the library in case of future bugs/security issues.)
