The nice thing about urpmi is that you don't need to worry about an
hdlist when the source is local (nfs too). If you have your rpms stored
someplace like /var/local/rpms, then the follwoing command creates an
entry in urpmi.cfg and an hdlist (only needs to be done once)
urpmi.addmedia Local /var/local/rpms
and the following command updates the list (run it after eaqch rsync or
ftp where you get the files)
urpmi.update Local
And then install the ones that you want either by name
urpmi package
or if it's an update to an already installed package
urpmi --auto-select
It really is much easier than most people think. The only time you need
to worry about generating an hdlist is if it's using ftp, ssh, http, or
rsync.

Hey, I'm perfectly reasonable once you realize I'm right.
