✨ rpmmd2solv — the LIBSOLV glow-up ✨

okay bestie, sit DOWN, because this little cutie is about to convert your rpm-md files into a solv file and it does it with zero drama. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

rpmmd2solv — literally just: convert files in rpm-md format into a solv file. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rpmmd2solv [OPTIONS]

no file arguments, no positional drama, just vibes and options. periodt. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea 🍓: rpmmd2solv reads rpm-md xml data from stdin, and writes it out as a solv file to standard output. that's the pipeline, that's the flow, no cap.

the way it just understands formats?? main character energy fr fr. it gets:

  • the primary format
  • the filelist format
  • the other format
  • the susedata format

ngl that's a whole range and it handles all of them. obsessed. 🫶

  • -X — autoexpand SUSE pattern and product provides into packages. like, it just does the expanding for you. you don't have to lift a finger. slay. 👑
bestie quick reminder 🚨: data goes IN through stdin and comes OUT through stdout. if you're sitting there wondering why nothing's happening, check your pipes. iykyk. 💀
