pyrpmdb 0.1.16

A utility to extract rpm package information from rpm database

A python package that extracts rpm package information from rpm database

Example usage

from pyrpmdb import get_rpm_db_info
import json


def test_get_info(file):
    res = get_rpm_db_info(file)
    print(json.dumps(res, indent=4))


test_get_info("foo/bar")
test_get_info("/usr/bin/du")
test_get_info("test-data/centos5-plain-Packages")

The result returned is always a dict object for errors the dictionary returned contains a key; "error" like;

{
    "error": "path error:foo/bar"
}

or

{
    "error": "/usr/bin/du: could not read Go build info from /usr/bin/du: unrecognized file format"
}

on success a python list of rpm package info struct is returned of this go structure serialized

type PackageInfo struct {
	Epoch           *int
	Name            string
	Version         string
	Release         string
	Arch            string
	SourceRpm       string
	Size            int
	License         string
	Vendor          string
	Modularitylabel string
	Summary         string
	PGP             string
	SigMD5          string
	DigestAlgorithm DigestAlgorithm
	InstallTime     int
	BaseNames       []string
	DirIndexes      []int32
	DirNames        []string
	FileSizes       []int32
	FileDigests     []string
	FileModes       []uint16
	FileFlags       []int32
	UserNames       []string
	GroupNames      []string

	Provides []string
	Requires []string
}

[
    {
        "Name": "package_name",
        "Version": "version"
    }
]

This spackage relies on a shared go library that leverages https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/knqyf263/go-rpmdb/pkg

So relies on this for database support.
