Comment 2 Paul Nasrat 2004-08-25 10:42:20 UTC

Simple test case on FC2 seems happy

import os, rpm
hdlist = os.open("/mnt/spare/rawhide-ppc/Fedora/base/hdlist", os.O_RDONLY)
hdlist2 = os.open("/mnt/spare/rawhide-ppc/Fedora/base/hdlist2",
os.O_RDONLY)
hdrs = rpm.readHeaderListFromFD(hdlist)
rpm.mergeHeaderListFromFD(hdrs, hdlist2, 1000004) 
os.close(hdlist)
os.close(hdlist2)
for hdr in hdrs:
   print "%s %s" % (hdr['name'], hdr[1000004])
