tdnf - tiny dandified yum

In order to compile, from the checkout directory, run the following

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

Do enable debugging symbols (useful for use with gdb), use:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

You can also build tdnf using docker using the following commands:

docker build -t photon/tdnf-build -f ci/Dockerfile.photon .
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/build -w /build photon/tdnf-build

create a conf file named tdnf.conf under /etc/tdnf/ with the following content

[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=true
repodir=/etc/yum.repos.d
cachedir=/var/cache/tdnf

Now configure repo files under /etc/yum.repos.d or your repodir following .repo format of dnf/yum.

You should now have a client executable named tdnf under bin/. To test run:

./bin/tdnf list installed

You should see a list of installed packages and their related info

Testing

To build and run the test scripts within a container, do:

export DIST=photon
docker run --security-opt seccomp:unconfined --rm -it -e DIST -v$(pwd):/build -w/build ${DIST}/tdnf-build ./ci/docker-entrypoint.sh

Same for

export DIST=fedora

Coverity

Assuming you have coverity installed on /pathto/coverity, you can run:

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/build -v /pathto/coverity/:/coverity/ -w /build photon/tdnf-build ./ci/coverity.sh

This will put the output to ./build-coverity. You can then commit the results to the coverity database from that directory, or view the results in ./build-coverity/html. For example, you can start an nginx container:

docker run -it --rm -p 8080:80 --name web -v $(pwd)/build-coverity/html:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx

and then view results in your browser at http://<host>:8080/.
