generating RPM files through installed RPMs

[Guest raghugs]

Hello Everybody

 

i downloaded and installed lot of packages under Mandriva 10.1,for building kde applications

but without knowing it would be deleted after download (non reuable).

i don't have generous bandwidth to download again all packages,

so i tried getting those installed packages as rpms using a tiny jwell called rpmrebuild url http://rpmrebuild.sourceforge.net

when i tried to get installed rpms as rpm files using rpmrebuild it showed lot of ,mo files are missing, i tried to find .mo files but i can't find. try anyone reading this post this command and find all corresponding .mo files,

rpm -ql mdkkdm

i bet you can't

so i told rpmrebuild to comment in spec file for missing files.

i tried it for a package that i already have .rpm file in my harddisk.

it worked flawlessly,

but the generated rpm file was small in size comparing to original,

shall i proceed?

 

thanks in advance
