Sanity check.
We're talking about
- extracting the headers from RPMs
- converting those to XML
- converting the XML back to binary (in the form of sqlite db)
- transferring the binary db to the end system
- so that yum can:
- use the binary db
- to download binary headers (since the extracting information is not
sufficient on its own)
- to use RPM to solve a transaction
Um, wouldn't it be a lot more sane to generate an rpmdb in the first
place (/usr/lib/rpmdb/...), transfer that to the end-system, and use
rpm's built-in dep solver?
I'm just saying...
