Bug 27473 – Add last report memory to repoman

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Douglas Russell (RETIRED) 2003-08-28 05:30:55 UTC]

Basically with this patch repoman saves the data from the last scan to a couple
of files in /tmp (If there is a more appropriate place to save them, let me know
please!) and then the two new switches can be used to redisplay the information:
last: displays last report
lfull: displays full last report
This patch is particularly useful for getting a full report after doing a
non-full report, as it does not have to re-scan the section of the tree to get
it. Basically, it's a time saver. A huge time saver if you ever do a scan on
large sections of the CVS tree.

Patch is based on portage-2.0.49-r1 and has been tested and confirmed to work in
conjunction with my repoman syntax and metadata enhancement:

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2003-08-28 06:42:42 UTC]

the problem with using static names is that they can be exploited in a directory 
like /tmp ... 

[Comment 3 Douglas Russell (RETIRED) 2003-08-28 11:46:49 UTC]

I'm moving the files to /var/cache/edb as auxcache used to have pickled files there. That ok SpanKY?

/var/cache/edb is fine. Owned by root:portage preferably.
The owner doesn't particularlly matter as long as it is 0664.

Fixed:
Secured the files used to save the repoman report data.

[Comment 7 Douglas Russell (RETIRED) 2003-08-29 04:35:07 UTC]

The reason for the 2 new patches is because the patches for my 2 seperate enhancements no longer work together without manual tampering. I've worked around this with a patch for adding the cache enhancement on a clean repoman and one for adding the cache enhancement to a repoman already patched with the syntactical and repoman enhancement patch (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27353).
