            Bug ID: 31672
           Summary: abidb: make libarchive a soft dependency
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
                CC: libabigail at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

libarchive operations are limited to --submit from archives such as RPMs. 
Distros without python3-libarchive-c could still benefit from the other parts
of abidb.  We just need to make it a soft dependency.

Thanks for the patch!

I have massaged it to add some more logging and such.

I came up with the potential commit below that is currently running
through the build bots.  OK to apply if it passes tests?

Actually, the previous patch failed some tests on some platform where
the libarchive python module is missing.  This is because some code in
the main() function was still referencing the archive even though it is
not supported.  Adjusted thus.

Now, the updated patch below actually passes the test on all the tested
platforms.  OK to apply to the master branch?
