Patch to implement behavior

Description of problem: rpmsodiff provides the difference information I want, but I can't script a check to determine if the rpms match or if they do not.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):rpmdevtools-8.3-5.fc20


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run against two identical rpms
2. echo $?
3. run against two different rpms
4. echo $?
5. note it is the same

Actual results:
return code is 0

Expected results:
Like 'diff' if the files don't match return non-zero

Just wondering if there were any thoughts on this patch.

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2013-11-26 07:46:48 UTC
Sorry about the delay. The reason I haven't done anything about this yet is that rpmdevtools is not the upstream for rpmsodiff, and I'd prefer this to see fixed upstream instead of carrying a modified version in rpmdevtools.

I suppose the best upstream contacts are the people listed at http://packages.altlinux.org/en/Sisyphus/srpms/qa-robot, will try to ping them.

Thank you for idea!
But your patch doesn't work in some cases:
1. in case of no common sonames, it should return 1.
2. in case of common sonames and if symbols differ. In 'while' loop works in subshell, so RETVAL=1 does not affect return code.

My patch works in this cases:

Thanks for looking into this, Gleb!

I'll leave this bug open for tracking purposes until we ship rpmsodiff that includes this feature in Fedora.
