packages provider inconsistent results #819

Open glensc opened 8 years ago

glensc commented 8 years ago

Description

i find debian packages listing inconsistent with one that rpm provides.

rpm system has "release" portion
deb system "release" is included in "version" portion
some deb package names contain archtecture zlib1g:amd64
debian versions also include "epoch"

ideally i'd see:

rpm systems include extra arch tag
deb systems include arch tag, extract it from name if needed
deb systems include release tag
epoch moved to extra tag
installdate missing for both systems, add it
examples from systems

rpm system:

# knife node show fqdn -a packages
pld:
  packages:
    glibc-misc:
      release: 21
      version: 2.3.6
    glibc64:
      release: 21
      version: 2.3.6

debian-7 system:

# knife node show fqdn -a packages
debian:
  packages:
    acpi:
      version: 1.6-1
    zlib1g:amd64:
      version: 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13

Debian 7

820 was merged adding:

rpm: add epoch, arch
deb: add arch
deb: fix arch being part of the name attribute

however, there's still todo:

deb: explode version to components (epoch, version, release), see questions in #820
deb: add installdate attribute
