I'd like to be able to manipulate/modify the rpms with perl as well. However, I can only find a RPM module for perl, not RPM2. The RPM module on CPAN doesn't provide package handling functionality, does the RPM2 module provide this?

I am trying to do something like the following: > > open(CKFILE,"rpm -qf $path |"); Hmm, you might be better off with RPM2 module: use RPM2; my $db = RPM2->open_rpm_db(); my $i = $db->find_by_file_iter("/etc/auto.master"); then iterate over the iterator, see the perldoc for more info. Or if you are feeling sick use Inline::Python :) Paul _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
