[softwaremgmt] RFC: enhancerepo 0.4.0
Hey guys I just uploaded to home:dmacvicar what I would like to be enhancerepo 0.4.0 This release has lot of refactorings, bugfixes and new testcases as a result of the feedback of the Linkat guys (Jordi & Jordi) and also from Michael Calmer who works in our SLE migration process. Before release I want to wait a small time-window to collect some feedback. I do not plan to fix all issues, as I already have a TODO list for 0.4.1, but depending on the feedback I may hold releasing it. Changes: * Various delta and update generation bugfixes: * improved logger support * --split-updates, patch by Jordi Massaguer Pla * primary data generation (EXPERIMENTAL, don't use it yet) * allows to generate metadata to a separate directory * product metadata generation extracted from *-release rpm packages * benchmark feature * speed improvements * lot of testcases to avoid regressions TODO for 0.4.1 - finish switching xml parsing and creation to nokogiri, to speedup - experiment with primary metadata support Things you can do with enhancerepo: * take a rpmmd repository (created by createrepo) and add disk usage information, expiry info, keywords * take a rpmmd repository containing various versions of some package, and generate any level of deltarpms and generate deltainfo.xml automatically * take a rpmmd repository containing various versions of some package, and generate patches grouping the packages per fix/issue, automatically generating the patch description from the changelog, including bug and security references * more...
