Reduce use of `unsafe` code #2

Open DemiMarie opened 3 years ago

DemiMarie commented 3 years ago

We currently use unsafe rust code in various places. Much of it is for FFI and can’t be helped, but some of it can be eliminated, or moved into a separate crate.

Can the FFI be transferred to https://github.com/rpm-software-management/librpm.rs?

DemiMarie commented 1 year ago

Much of it can be, yes. At a minimum both could share an autogenerated rpm-sys crate. rpm-oxide does need to support Qubes OS’s dom0 (which runs Fedora 32) and Debian stable without outside dependencies as it is used in production on both distributions.
