Hi again,
I have another rpmbuild integration issue with "quilt setup". We call
rpmbuild -bp with --define "__tar $tmpdir/bin/tar". This is a wrapper
we use to collect information before we call the actual tar binary.
Since rpm 4.18, archives are handled by a new helper binary,
rpmuncompress. As I understand it, rpmuncompress ultimately calls the
real tar binary, found with rpmGetPath("%{__tar}", NULL). My problem is
that this now calls the system's tar, instead of our wrapper. This
prevents me from calling the information I need.
This comes as a surprise to me, I would expect my __tar definition to
be honored by rpmuncompress the same way it was honored before that
helper binary was introduced. Is this a bug?
We could intercept calls to rpmuncompress, however doing so would
require that we duplicate a lot of the logic already present in
rpmuncompress, so I'd rather avoid it if possible.
Thanks,
