To be honest, no idea, I just initially went ahead and did the rpm5 porting as we had a package of libdudf in cooker, then Stéphane gave me a pointer to the the master branch and commit access and I went on just giving it some extra care in the process of commiting my changes with some additional improvements...
IIRC the others seemed to prefer to have things done in rpm if the alternative were given, I briefly looked at the code of libdudf wrt. urpmi and was thinking about perhaps merging it and introduce more proper support already.. So if you have a better solution and can provide it through rpm, I guess everyone would be more happy going through that route in stead and I'll probably be able to adopt it in urpmi sooner as well.. :) On these things, my oppinions and insight are rather limited beyond doing some work on the stuff I know and can improve upon related to it (in this case use and knowledge of librpm API and good C++&STL knowledge, pretty much it for now), no time to dig too much below the surface.. So any better suggestions, advice, and other alternatives handed to me are more than welcome, you're certainly the expert on these things, not me. :) -- Regards, Per Øyvind -- Regards, Per Øyvind ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org Developer Communication List rpm-devel@rpm5.org
