I have one problem with rpm - we use in CAMK /home which is not local, but automagicaly mounted ater login (yp+autofs). So - we cannot use any apache, wu-ftp, roxen, proftpd packages because I can't make directories and chown them to anybody on nfs-mounted fs. rpm have options --ignoresize (for not confusing rpm about size of nfs-disk) and --excludepath (for forgeting some directories). But, when I try to use them like: sudo rpm -vv -ihv --nodeps --ignoresize --excludepath /home/ roxen-1.3.122-7mdk.i586.rpm I got information: [...] D: excluding directory /home/roxen/html/welcome/ [...] roxen GZDIO: 5 reads, 40960 total bytes in 0.019 secs rozpakowanie archiwum nie powiodooo sie na pliku /home/roxen/html/welcome/frontend1.gif: cpio: chown (sorry about polish). When I try to install them on old Redhat 6.0, this same line work perfectly for me. My questions is: 1. Why when I try to install them on Redhat it works: [...] D: installing binary packages D: excluding /home/roxen/html/welcome/redhat.gif D: excluding /home/roxen/html/welcome/mandrake.gif D: excluding /home/roxen/html/welcome/frontend2.gif D: excluding /home/roxen/html/welcome/frontend1.gif 2. Why rpm trying to chown any of files located on filesystem which must forget? 3. How I can do it? (yes, without rebuild whole packages/'s). I use: rpm-3.0.5-7mdk autofs-3.1.4-3mdk and I try to install: roxen-1.3.122-7mdk -- --w
