Hi all,
If you go to http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/metadata/
you'll see a python script and an xml file.
xml file is an example - one package with the metadata dumped out.
script is what does it:
script is run as:
./rpm-md-dump.py location-url rpm rpm rpm rpm rpm rpm rpm rpm rpm
it will dump to standard out
I know there are lots of misc bugs - not the least of which is:
1. I need to do the list of files we wanted inside this file for the
file provides
2. package color - I don't even know how to generate this right now
3. header ranges
4. there are lots of things it should do more and more interesting but I
thought y'all might like to see it and go ahead and tell me what's wrong
now.
In general this is just a 'proof of concept script' but the stuff is
clearly the basis for what the metadata would look like.
I think this is consistent w/ what we had discussed.
let me know what I screwed up.
