- Implement a minimal parser for the RPM header section and use it to
skip to the data section instead of searching for BZip2 or GZip
magic headers.
- Add untested support for LZMA compression. It currently uses "lzcat"
from the "xz" package which is what "pkgsrc" itself uses to handle
".lzma" files.
- Fix detection of BZip2/GZip signature which would have failed if the
signature was located behind a prefix of the signature.
- Increase I/O buffer size so that "rpm2pkg" will usually find the data
section after only one read(2) system call.
- Don't use the original "rpm" libraries. All we need to do is to identify
a file as an RPM file and afterwards find the BZip2 or GZip compressed
section at the end of the file.
- Use C99's "stdbool.h" instead of home-grown defines.
- Switch to 2-clause BSD license.
- Compile with extra warnings (again) if GCC is used as the compiler.
- Fix build warnings reported by "-Wsign-compare".
- Fixed GCC 4.x build warning (which would have resulted in an error
with future GCC versions).
- Depend on newer version of "rpm" package to fix build under Mac OS X.
- Improve I/O buffer mangement.
- Don't put "@exec" and "@unexec" in the package list for symbolic links
which point to normal files. This allows the automatic manual
decompression to handle symbolic links to manual pages correctly.
The update fixes PR pkg/25723 by Kouichirou Hiratsuka.
- added support for RPM archive compress with bzip2 as used by e.g.
SuSE Linux 8.2.
- (hopefully) made portable
- rewrote ugly code for handling "-s" command line option
- converted source to KNF
