Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Moving unnecessary notice about empty rpm packages to debug message. (#615)

2018-12-21 Thread Russ Herrold
if the problem is an empty file being queried, why not solve teh problem where 
the action occurs (before the test), with something simple like:

[ -s $ARG ] && ... 

I don't see that this is the rpm binary's issue

> Yes, right. Then you won't have any problem finding hundreds of packages

Under the present system, my tooling runs and provides sub-second look-ups on a 
corpus of (today) 796479 packagings

Stop picking a fight

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Make %setup defaults smarter (#371)

2017-12-13 Thread Russ Herrold
No 'quirks' at all ... I have built my tools with the rpm and rpmbuild man 
pages open, and consulting:  

rpm --showrc

That's how developing in an Unixy (tm) environment works

I know what is not a good idea on the Usenet ... ahh, times change so silly me, 
having been the editor of RPM.ORG during the JBJ maintainer-ship with the 
almost obsessive attention to preserving backward compatibility, and keeping 
that documentary content alive out of my own pocket, when RH re-pointed the 
domain to Seth at Duke, and then pulled it back in house

silly, in having forgotten your contributions

 sarcasm   probably early onset senility on my part

My build tools do this 'different %_topdir naming' on ** every ** build

It might make sense to actually use rpmbuild for a decade or so before 
proposing changes that break backward compatibility

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] WIP/RFE: Hint to users to use ostree/rpm-ostree if we get EROFS (#320)

2017-09-07 Thread Russ Herrold
As I understand the model for rpm-ostree, it assumes a Read Only, and 
re-located RPMDB

Wouldn't a more general fix than the one seemingly already committed about 
inability to calculate TS disk size requirements, be a simply attempt to 
connect with the BDB and get a lockfile?  this would indicate reliably and 
early, that RW transactions as called were not going to happen, and once might 
exit early, and with more information to a admin
