This patches introduces the "--latest" option to osinfo-db-import, which can be used to download and install the latest officially released osinfo-db. The approach taken, at least in this RFC, is to have a file which contains the version and URL of the latest osinfo-db. Whether we'd stick to the very simple format used or change it to something else ... it's totally open for discussion. For testing purposes, the file is part of my fedorapeople's space but in the final version of the patch I'd like to fetch that from libosinfo.org. The file is small enough that (hopefully) wouldn't cause traffic problems on libosinfo's website and adding libosinfo.org in our source code seems way more sane than adding "pagure"/"gitlab" ... In order to test those patches, you'd need to have the following series applied: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2018-October/msg00046.html Here you can find a branch on my gitlab which contains all the patches: https://gitlab.com/fidencio/osinfo-db-tools/tree/wip/import_latest Fabiano Fidêncio (1): import: Introduce "--latest" option tools/osinfo-db-import.c | 155 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 155 insertions(+) -- 2.19.1 _______________________________________________ Libosinfo mailing list Libosinfo@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libosinfo
