Re[2]: Release 1.0 TODO and Maven 2.0 upgrade

Hello Yannick,

There are such formats - hdlist (plain headers with or without magics)
and yum xml files (three xml.gz files). If you find header list in
both formats than you will be able to test big portion of rpm headers.


YM> Thanks, that's appreciated :)

YM> I was thinking it would be useful to make a *big* batch test against the
YM> native rpm, for example against the whole redhat rpm repository.

YM> In order to do that, would need to:

YM> 1) Extract all information from the rpms using the native rpm
YM> (everything except the payload itself, but including an MD5 of the
YM> payload), to a easily parsable format (xml for example)

YM> 2) Use the java rpm to extract all information, and compare with what
YM> the native one generated

YM> 3) Do the same thing in reverse (use jrpm to extract information, use
YM> native rpm to check that information is correct)

YM> Do you know if there is an easy way to do the native part of testing ?
