It's held up while we draw up new guidelines for GPL software, specifically whether we can install GPL libraries in the default locations. I'd like to think it will be resolved soon, but I cannot make any commitments on when it will be integrated. If your app is also GPL, you can statically link readline - that's what projects (eg libvirt) had to do. But it's not ideal for multiple apps to be doing this. afaik, the BSD alternative implementation of readline is not 100% compatible, so you may need to re-code slightly if you use it. - Dermot
