Another thing: it was mentionned on the IRC channel that namcap doesn't work with the new xz packages. It would be nice to have xz support in namcap before we start pushing these changes out.
Yeah, this is IMHO a blocker to going gung-ho on this. It is not going to be super-easy either as we use python's built-in archive support that doesn't know about XZ as far as I know...
Why not? Just call bsdtar to extract the tar somewhere. This way you don#t have to worry how the package is compressed.
Maybe you can get away with this in a shell script, but no one is happy with this BS in a python program. Or at least I wouldn't be, but feel free to send a patch to the namcap maintainer since it is so easy. I'll be impressed when you fix every check that uses tar.getmembers() too... -Dan
