Hi Lubomir,
I have been doing some development which required the use of your RPM2 perl
module. I created a solution to Bug 15908. I was wondering if I could
share with you my patch and get your thoughts.
I was also wondering if you have though about the following enhancements:
1) The ability to set the root dir for a transaction.
2) The ability to set the verbosity level of rpm.
3) Add some additional rpm formating functions.
* as_nevr - returns name-epoch:version-release
* as_nvra - returns name-version-release.arch
* as_na - returns name.arch
4) Add additional functionality for running a transaction.
* Add the ability to run a transaction with --nodeps
* Add the ability to run a transaction with --oldpackage
* Add the ability to run a transaction with --noscripts
* Add the ability to run a transaction with --notriggers
* Add the ability to run a transaction with -h
When I was working with RPM2 I added this functionality. I was wondering
if I could share my patches with you and get your thoughts and see if this
is something you could see being adapted in RPM2 code.
Would you like me to send you my patches?
