rpmdev-sort

I had to find next to last package build in the output of "koji latest-tagged" so I wrote the rpmdev-sort tool.
Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2010-05-24 18:17:36 UTC 
Two minor issues:

This would introduce a "hard" dependency on yum, see for example how rpmdev-vercmp works around it.

I believe the lines.sort(rpm_compare) way wouldn't work with Python 3.x, it'd be nice to do it in a way that works with both 2.x and 3.x.

rpmdev-sort

The dependency on yum is dropped completely, there was even a bug, because it worked with V-R instead of N-V-R.

I am not an experienced python programmer, but I think it's not possible to easily solve the sorting in Python3 as rpm itself uses a specific sorting/compare function for the version/release parts.
Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2010-07-28 20:26:26 UTC 
What do you think, should this handle Epochs as well?  I'm not sure if there's a too standard way of including it in package strings, but here are a few examples:

$ yum list installed
[...]
kdeutils.x86_64                      6:4.4.5-1.fc13             @updates        
[...]

$ yum install kdeutils
[...]
  Installing     : 6:kdeutils-4.4.5-1.fc13.x86_64               1/1
[...]
