Hi all,
Script posted again:
http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/metadata/rpm-md-dump.py
Changes:
- made checksum have an id attribute
- create filelists.xml
- stuff in place for 'other'
- just replace non-utf8 characters with a '?' - not noting it in the
xml, yet, will add shortly.
- cleaned up a few things in generateXML to make the function less
repetitive in silly places
- made empty obs/conf/reqs/provides not be listed
new output files:
http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/metadata/base-sample.xml
http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/metadata/filelists-sample.xml
- filelists lists package n,e,v,r,a in a comment - I'm of two minds on
this - one is - if it's in a comment we're paying the price for it being
there in terms of data xfer, why not just specify it too. The second is
- eh - don't make people parse it if it is not necessary.
Open to suggestions :)
All of fedora core test 3 (severn) - rpms and src.rpms:
base: http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/metadata/base.xml.bz2 - 395K
files: http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/metadata/filelists.xml.bz2 - 1.3M
uncompressed they are 5.2M and 20M, respectively.
I'll probably work on the changelog/etc/ file tomorrow night.
How do those look?
Thanks,
