There is no need to unpack a single byte because it is not
affected by (byte) endianness (and that's what struct.unpack is
about). Moreover, rpmquery.unpack_string now supports an optional
encoding parameter, which could be used by the python3 port to
decode a string. Note: in general we cannot assume that all strings
in a rpm are utf-8 encoded (it is possible to build a rpm that
contains illegal utf-8 sequences).
The following abstract methods are added to the PackageQueryResult
class: recommends(), suggests(), supplements(), and enhances().
Note that not all package/metadata formats have a notion of these
weak dependencies.
rpm rpmmd deb arch
recommends x x x
suggests x x x x
supplements x x
enhances x x x
(where "x" represents "supported"). In case of an unsupported weak
dependency, the implementation returns an empty list.
We need the weak dependency support in order to fix#363 ("osc build
-p ../rpms/tw doesnt send recommends to the server which makes client
side build behave differently to server side build").
The most visible change in python3 - removal of print statement and all
the crufty
print >> sys.stderr, foo,
The from __future__ import print_function makes it available in python
2.6
- util/rpmquery:
* added new methods "is_src", "is_nosrc" to check if the package is
a src rpm or nosrc rpm
* fixed "canonname": this never worked for src- or nosrc rpms
- minor code restructuring
Note:
in order to fetch the cpio archives osc uses "getbinarylist". The
drawback is that "getbinarylist" doesn't generate an ".errors" file
if we're requesting a non-existent filename.
Any directory passed to --prefer-pkgs will be searched for a repodata
directory. If the directory does not contain a repodata directory, then
each ancestor directory is checked. This allows for the user error of
specifying an individual architecture directory (e.g. x86_64) instead of the
parent repository directory that contains the repodata:
repository/
x86_64/
*.rpm
repodata/
*.xml.gz
The use case for this feature is it allows snapshots of the OBS repositories
to be offloaded to an network-attached filesystem. repodata directories are
used as the xml.gz files are faster to read than the 100s of rpms in a given
snapshot. These snapshots are used to track older rpm sets that may be
deployed for testing.
- util/packagequery.py: added vercmp(pkgq) method
- util/debquery.py: currently vercmp(degq) is only a dummy method. The real implementation will follow soon.
* util/packagequery.py: it's used to query a RPM or DEB package. It also contains a
base class for all package types (PackageQuery())
* util/debquery.py: query a DEB package (name, version, release, provides, requires etc.)
- adapted util/rpmquery.py to use PackageQuery() as a base class
- minor changes in util/ar.py
* so far it was only used for querying rpms which can be done with the rpmquery module
- core.py:
* removed data_from_rpm() and tag_to_rpmpy() methods
- util/rpmquery.py:
* added staticmethod "query()"
- commandline.py, fetch.py:
* use rpmquery module instead of rpm-python/data_from_rpm()
