# urpmsave --dir ~/rpmsavedir myrpmname (before updating glibc and crashing all the system :) ) creates a tgz of all files installed by the rpm in the specify directory so that u can restore them in case of emergency
and/or better what we use on IBM AIX 'installp' package manager: # urpmi --apply myrpm (which will save replaced files to some urpmi specific save directory and apply the new myrpm version to the system) # urpmi --commit myrpm (which will commit the apply, ie remove the saved files from the apply, once the new version is sufficiently tested) # urpmi --reject myrpm_qualified_name_and_version (which will uninstall files from the version applied specified and restore files from the previous version saved from the corresponding apply) I wonder if this enh is really for urpmi or just rpm ... -- Pascal __________________________________________________________________ Running 1:06, 4 users, load average: 0.27, 0.23, 0.27 (gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)) Kernel Linux version 2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise
