Hello I'm trying to install a source rpm with Python API, as a non-root user. Equivalent of: $ rpm -iv ... mypackage.src.rpm with Python. I did not find a way to do that. I just find how to do a classic RPM install (ts.addInstall(), ts.run()) but this locks the RPM database, even if it will not modify it (as it is a source rpm), and so, need root permission. I found rpmInstallSourcePackage() in C source code, in lib/psm.c but no equivalent in the Python binding. How do to this?
There's no API to do it in the python bindings, but then you can just as well shell out and call 'rpm -i foo.src.rpm' from python, the API for src.rpm installs is simple and stupid enough that its not very useful...
