Bug ID: 27413
Summary: use bsdtar for .deb extraction too
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: debuginfod
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Back during bug #25583, we transitioned rpm unpacking to bsdtar (libarchive),
but left deb unpacking to dpkg-deb by default. One factor in this was the
inconsistent naming convention of the "data.tar*" inner tarball: it can be
.xz or .bz2 or others. Given a few reports of intermittent crashes via
dpkg-deb (bug #27399), and the ability of bsdtar to take glob patterns,
it's probably time to let bsdtar handle .debs too (and .ipkg).
The extracting pipe command would be: (bsdtar -O -x -f - 'data.tar*')<
