✨ UPDATEINFOXML2SOLV ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for updateinfoxml2solv from the LIBSOLV fam, and honestly? it's a little one but it does the most 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

updateinfoxml2solv — the lil glow-up machine that converts rpm-md's updateinfo.xml format into a solv file 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

updateinfoxml2solv [OPTIONS]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — updateinfoxml2solv reads rpm-md's updateinfo xml data from stdin, and writes it out as a solv file to standard output. lowkey iconic behavior.

and the way that Update elements get converted into special patch: pseudo packages?? literally so slay. every single Update element becomes one of those, no cap. 👑
