ac_dispatcher Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I have read a few apt-get how to's but the commands they tell me to do don't work except one. Or they were ment for deb files and when I try to change it to rpm is does not work. What I am looking for is a equivalent to genhdlist command. I have a lot of SUSE and MDK rpms in different directories. form my MDK .rpms Ill do a genhdlist to made the hdlist.cz. What is the apt-get version. I tried this in my sources.list files are on a local serve in /mnt/VOLUME/rpms.locaL so in my sources.list rpm-dir file:///mnt VOLUME local This works. A little. You see when I do the apt-get update it will take about 1 hour to complete. The directory has about 1gb of data. There has to be a way to make the apt-get version of hdlist.cz.

bvc Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 thought about using alien? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_dispatcher Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Did a google on alien "Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede slp, and slackware tgz file formats." Thanks Ill use that for something else but Im trying to make a "list" file for apt-get that is the same as hdlist.cz for urpmi. I have about 1gb of .rpms on a local computer. I cant get apt-get to work with it. with urpmi I just did genhdlist /route/to/rpms/folder and it made the hdlist.cz in that folder. How do I do this for apt-get?
