Yes, correct.

 Independently of which one I run, rpm or sh, on the dev box, can I simply
 install the OpenPKG Framework Binary RPM Package on my production box to have 
 a
 complete working environment, or I need to run the sh before followeb by the
 RPM ?

Initially you _CANNOT_ run the .rpm as you don't have RPM available. And
once you bootstrapped OpenPKG you have RPM available and from then on
you should never use the .sh file again.

RPM or sh on the production server

2010-02-26 Thread Benoît Dubé 

I got the following after running the shell script on my dev environment box:


+-+
| You have successfully built the OpenPKG Framework from scratch  |
| for prefix /openpkg on target platform ix86-rhel5.4. The input  |
| was the OpenPKG Framework Source Bootstrap Package in file: |
| |
| openpkg-4.0.2-20100131.src.sh   |
| |
| The results are the following three files:  |
| |
| openpkg-4.0.2-20100131.src.rpm  |
| openpkg-4.0.2-20100131.ix86-rhel5.4-openpkg.rpm |
| openpkg-4.0.2-20100131.ix86-rhel5.4-openpkg.sh  |
| |
| The first result file is the OpenPKG Framework Source RPM Package,  |
| containing just the same contents than the OpenPKG Framework Source |
| Bootstrap Package, but now in RPM format. Optionally use this after |
| the installation of the OpenPKG Framework Binary Bootstrap Package  |
| if you want to rebuild from source again (but then with RPM |
| available). |
| |
| The second result file is the OpenPKG Framework Binary RPM Package, |
| containing the installation files in RPM format for the OpenPKG |
| instance /openpkg. Optionally use this after the installation of|
| the OpenPKG Framework Binary Bootstrap Package if you want (usually |
| for fixing something) to reinstall (but then with RPM available).   |
| |
| The third result file is the OpenPKG Framework Binary Bootstrap |
| Package, containing the installation files as a self-extracting |
| shell script for the OpenPKG instance /openpkg. Use this in YOUR|
| NEXT STEP to initially create the OpenPKG instance from scratch.|
| Hence, proceed now by running the following command:|
| |
| $ sh openpkg-4.0.2-20100131.ix86-rhel5.4-openpkg.sh |
