mc cannot read resulting rpm file about cargo-generate-rpm HOT 4 CLOSED

Ah, Midnight Commander, the good old file manager I had long forgotten about.

The generated RPM file has the "Build Date" set to "(none)". the mc scripts do not take "(none)" into account. The e) is an improperly extracted string from "Build Date : (none)". This behavior can be observed by running sh -x /usr/libexec/mc/extfs.d/rpm list target/generate-rpm/genrpm-0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm.

This can be attributed to an omission in the mightnight commander script, or to a lack of functionality in the rust rpm library (missing function to set the build date).

OK, so I'l try to propose a code change (or at least raise a ticket about it) to the relevant RPM crate for adding bulid date.
I'm trying to find out which RPM crate is the official one, and it's confusing. It seems there are at least two different codebases, and both have several forks:

• https://github.com/Richterrettich/rpm-rs/network/members
• https://github.com/rpm-rs/rpm/network/members

https://github.com/Richterrettich/rpm-rs/ ( https://crates.io/crates/rpm-rs ) is original but no longer maintained. https://github.com/rpm-rs/rpm/ ( https://crates.io/crates/rpm ) is active now.

I've sent a pull request to rpm-rs. It's not relevant to keep this issue open any longer.
