Resistance to Suggests: was quite terrifying to yum developers, and,
in fact, is one of the reasons for the rpm fork.

Many flags are not defined within python. Easy hacking in python/ 
rpmmodule.c

Meanwhile the value is a problem, as I cannot gurantee that the value is
invariant in *.rpm packaging. I'm actively devising a way to include
attributes by "missingok" string rather than (1 << 19) value.

The suggests tag is likely implicitly available as
 h['suggests']
even if RPMTAG_SUGGESTS* is not explicitly in rpm-python.

ANd what *REALLY* needs doing is to figger a clearly defined
semantic, as in
 WTF is a depsolver supposed to do with Suggests:?!?

What dpkg./apt does is print the Suggests: to stdout, not exactly
the most useful or powerful semantic.

BTW, Enhances: should be renamed to Recommends: I got
the name wrong. I don't use apt ;-)

YPB?
Does poldek support suggests? With pndir or yum repodata?
Does yum support suggests?
Has anyone verified it?

Suggests was really merged in rpm 4.4.3 and AFAIK Fedora/RH didn't go
beyond 4.4.2.
And I don't see RPMSENSE_MISSINGOK or RPMTAG_SUGGESTS* in rpm python
bindings or poldek sources.

Yum repodata in PLD

2007-05-24 Thread Patryk Zawadzki
I'd like PLD to ship XML repodata for its repositories aside from
poldek's pndir format. XML metadata can be used with multiple tools
like yum which seems to be a nice candidate for poldek replacement on
desktop machines. Especially as it already has usable GUI tools.

Is there anything against running createrepo along with poldek's mkidxz?
