I assume this was done?

Before we move on to other packaging ecosystems, a useful next step to me seems 
to
be teaching various libs (librpm, libsolv, libdnf) to look in this location 
first.   Maybe
something like supporting %dbpath as a list in librpm?  Or maybe have it be
empty by default, and if it's unset that means "find automatically"?

Anyway... the check disabled for the signature header in commit 
34c2ba3c6a80a778cdf2e42a9193b3264e08e1b3, thanks for the patience everybody.
There will be an update to 4.14.x sooner than later, this will be included.

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Fail to check signature (#270)

2017-11-29 Thread Panu Matilainen
Oh okay, took a dog-walk for it to register: in rpm5 RPMSIGTAG_PADDING is used 
for the actual padding between the signature and main header, which is 
different from rpm.org's RPMSIGTAG_RESERVEDSPACE. From the initial description 
of #183 I assumed it was essentially the same and, I admit, didn't bother with 
the other details you provided later. So it's different, in a number of ways, 
my bad for assuming otherwise.

But in that case, calling headerReload() again after adding the padding tag 
seems wrong, it's just that the second call doesn't actually seem to do much 
anything so it ends up being harmless. This is true of rpm.org's headerReload() 
as well BTW - it only works once to actually pull it all into that single 
contiguous region. I seem to recall running into that once or twice but never 
got around to look into it just then, there hasn't been much of a reason to 
bother.
