I want to pack linux 64bit rpm on macos x. To do this I make tmproot folder with all binaries in it and need to pack contents of this folder to package.
There are problems building rpm4 on mac os x and rpm5 is not compatible with rpm4 specs, so I'm writing right now implementation of simple rpm packer: directory -> rpm.
I can pack lead, signature (with 4 bytes padding), header, but I have several problems later:
1) how do I need to calculate sha1 header in signature? md5 is calculated from header+cpio_payload, but sha1 is more complex.
If I don't put sha1 then vanilla rpm on Centos6 says that:
headerRead failed: Header sanity check: OK
When I compile rpm from source it can install package without sha1 header.
2) I'm packing files with cpio and then call xz on this cpio file, but still rpm claims that:
unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic
it happens in fsmSetup function. This cpio.xz file is starting from bytes: 253,55,122,88,90,0,0,10,225
Why can it be bad magic?
