So my question is: Is there a set of attributes in the rpm-md that would uniquely identify a package that is build independent and allow diffing of the metadata?
Suppose we have package movieplayer in 3 repos: in factory with few codecs, in packman with more codecs, and in a home project with a different set of more codecs. Now we have several versions of the package from all of these repos. If I understand correctly, you want to classify movieplayer so that you have 3 pkgids.
Or one, I know what repository it is as that's where I obtained the metadata. The problem is matching up the packages that are currently in the repository, with the packages that were there before.
How about name+packager? (or vendor, but I don't see that in rpm-md) +arch?
Is it not possible for one packager to package multiple versions of the same named package within one repository? e.g. amarok 2.0 and amarok 2.1 ? I was wondering if there's a set of attributes that's guaranteed to be unique, other than the checksum. -- Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org
