2007.1 drakrpm noclean of /var/cache/urpmi/rpms

[emmanuel_uk]

--noclean option is fine with urpmi

but sometimes I really want to use drakrpm *and* I do not

want the cache to be emptied upon rpms installation

 

I have posted a thread and solution for 2007.0

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...ad.php?t=349112

 

I poked around the perl code and some of the draklib

and perl modules in /usr/lib but I have not find a solution yet

(greping has been unsuccessful with clean and noclean;

I also tried to locate where the "removing blabla" string is coming from when

installing a package with drakrpm launched from a terminal (in this case

drakprm is a bit verbose in the terminal)

 

I must be looking in the wrong place, and I am sure other people

would like a solution to this. I have not tried olddrakrpm...

 

There is a packet called ack

which is only 25 kb that can be used to install/de-install

to check the behaviour in the cache

Have now found a solution and posted to above linked thread

Thank you, seems to work fine with both MCC and CLI.
