mifan Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I notice in the media manager, I can add custom rpm sources, such as local drives or removable drives. If I downlaod some rpms and burn them to a cd, do I need to make any other modifications to have them as a usable source, such as a list file md5 sum file that contains the md5sums of all the rpms...?

dexter11 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 You should make a hdlist.cz file which contains info about the packages. You should look at the genhdlist command to do that. There are maybe other requirements as well but this is what I know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 afaik, you can just point to the cd and the system takes care of things. Basically, it will read all rpm info about dependencies and what the packages provide, and keep this in its own db - I guess it will use genhdlist, but you don't actually need to know anything about it... From my memory anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEberger Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 my guess is probably a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
