Ouch, I just had a quick look and in package_db.cc, method packagedb::flush, the filename in installed.db is constructed by appending a fixed string ".tar.bz2" to name and version. I skimmed the definition of the class packageversion, but I don't see an easy way to extract the correct filename or, FWIW, just the correct suffix. Apparently the filename is not stored for installed files. I tried to use the getfirstfile method but it returned an empty string. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

Pragmatically the compression suffix could be dropped (just appending ".tar"), since setup.exe doesn't care what it is anyway.

I was assuming that some people automatically scan installed.db for some purposes, and for those people the current state is broken with .tar.xz archives.

Since installed.db is intended for use by cygwin tools that we support it is not really "wrong" for it to use .bz2. It is just odd. However, I think we should just the .tar.* extension entirely and fix cygcheck to deal with that case. FWIW, I think Yaakov noticed this problem a few weeks ago. cgf ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

We should then release 1.7.26 soon to get the new cygcheck out of the door.
