Subject: [Bug debuginfod/25583] New: Use libarchive to extract packages?
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2020 11:08:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-25583-10460@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25583
Bug ID: 25583
Summary: Use libarchive to extract packages?
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: debuginfod
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: ross at burtonini dot com
CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Using rpm2cpio to extract an RPM isn't ideal because the machine serving the
RPMs may not actually have that tool on.
However, libarchive which is already a dependency can extract RPMs directly as
demonstrated with the libarchive example tool bsdtar:
$ bsdtar -tvf
/home/ross/Yocto/openbmc/build/tmp/deploy/rpm/noarch/os-release-1.0-r0.noarch.rpm
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 0 Nov 8 16:41 ./etc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 21 Nov 8 16:41 ./etc/os-release ->
../usr/lib/os-release
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 0 Nov 8 16:41 ./usr
drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 0 Nov 8 16:41 ./usr/lib
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 287 Nov 8 16:41 ./usr/lib/os-release
Ditto for debs, dpkg-deb may not be present but libarchive can unpack the outer
and give you access to the internals:
$ bsdtar -tvf /var/cache/apt/archives/gdb_8.2.1-2+b1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 0 0 0 4 Aug 28 16:18 debian-binary
-rw-r--r-- 0 0 0 3024 Aug 28 16:18 control.tar.xz
-rw-r--r-- 0 0 0 3131068 Aug 28 16:18 data.tar.xz
