You convinced me that there should be whitelist filter, so I rewrote code for it. Follow Panu suggestion [1] I wrote .C generator to filter proper rpm tags. But currently it does not allow this suggestion [2] by jbj@:
"The members (and ordering) of the IDENTITY tag set might also need to be configurable without recompiling." Currently I have no idea what is better way to do that. May be one of solution can be to define some macro that contains tag that should be in calculation, but this doest seem to be convenient and practical. Also its value may be needs a prefix for versioning tag value. When new tags are marked to be involve to calculating the prefix changes. I think the prefix should also include a vendor identifier e.g. fc, alt, mga, suse etc. While here is marker for tags that values should be involve to identity calculation, I think here should be special case for some of string array tags: a marker for processing array before calculation. For example, we want to filter some of value from package provides but we don't want to exclude the whole array from identity calculation. I think it could be done with one more marker with argument of array processing function that return (char *) — the result of string processing. There is difficulty that RPMTAG_PROVIDE* is three separate tags and I have no idea how to take it in consideration. About patches: they are RFC, 0002 is mostly draft: there are obviously marked more than needed tags. I forgot to enhance commit message for 0003, so I'll do it in the next iteration. Please comment.
