RFE: allow running rpminspect on single rpms built locally

[clime]

Hello,

I would like to integrate rpminspect into rpkg-util (https://pagure.io/rpkg-util) - a packaging utillity that I am working on. For that I would need to have support for inspecting locally built rpms. Example usage could look like this:

$ rpminspect /tmp/rpkg/rpkg-util-4-0xrca84g/noarch/rpkg-3.prototype.git.117.3a9c9748-1.fc30.noarch.rpm

Would you like it to run against just a single .rpm file and run the inspections it can run on a single RPM or would you like it to run against a locally created build from an SRPM file? The latter may produce multiple subpackages.

Hey David,

basically I will have a local srpm build results in a directory which looks like this:

drwxr-xr-x.  2 clime clime     60 Aug 22 11:03 noarch
drwxr-xr-x. 10 clime clime    500 Aug 22 11:03 rpkg-util
-rw-rw-r--.  1 clime clime 172588 Aug 22 11:03 rpkg-util-3.prototype.git.118.e948b5bb.dirty.z6w11t-1.fc30.src.rpm
-rw-rw-r--.  1 clime clime 150663 Aug 22 11:03 rpkg-util-e948b5bb-dirty.tar.gz
-rw-rw-r--.  1 clime clime  14126 Aug 22 11:03 rpkg-util.spec

where noarch contains:

rpkg-3.prototype.git.118.e948b5bb.dirty.z6w11t-1.fc30.noarch.rpm

I would like to run rpminspect on all rpms that were built. I plan to auto-discover them and pass them to rpminspect.

[clime]

So basically, I can run rpminspect for each auto-discovered rpm or i can run rpminspect just once with all the auto-discovered rpms. I don't know, which one is better.

I have added support for specifying local RPM packages as the input to rpminspect. You can specify just one or two and have it perform the comparison between the two. This should appear in the next Copr build as well as the next tagged release of rpminspect.

Cool, thanks!
