RFE: include rpmdev-sort
Last modified: 2010-10-08 16:44:21 EDT
Created attachment 415965 [details] 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.
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.
Created attachment 417605 [details] 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.
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 [...]
Added in 7.10, with some minor improvements.
