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.

  -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life

Please do retire it from EPEL.

Thank you.
