You could of course answer this yourself. Download the latest RPM, rpm

Yes, it appears so.  Having just converted our projects from subversion to
git I am reluctant to beat my brains out trying to maintain yet another
moving target that is, in the end, only a support tool. The most recent
GiT source builds without complaint on my development system so the
dependencies are purely build environment artifacts and are not
substantive.  This change to the rpm build platform is unfortunate for me
since I now lose a very convenient update process and have to choose
between rebuilding at each release or stabilizing at 1.5.6.1.

Nonetheless, I will no doubt live through this... Sigh.
