The libdnf5 swidtags plugin

Keeping SWID tags in sync with rpms installed via libdnf5-based tools

To keep the SWID information synchronized with SWID tags from dnf/yum repository metadata for package installations, upgrades, and removals using tools based on libdnf5 (for example microdnf), libdnf5 plugin swidtags.so can be used. The plugin gets enabled by placing that shared library to /usr/lib64/libdnf5/plugins/ and adding /etc/dnf/libdnf5-plugins/swidtags.conf with content

[main]
enabled = yes

To display debug messages from the swidtags.so plugin, set the LIBDNF_PLUGIN_SWIDTAGS_DEBUG environment variable to desired debug level, from 1 to 9.
