Hello,
I have been using dpkg --get-selections and --set-selections to
replicate the client machines at work. It works super well.
Yesterday I added a new machine (lenny 5.0) and I would like to set
the same packages
as I have system wide, however the other machines I have are still
running etch.
I see that the output of --get-selections contains the package version
information so I am
wondering if that is going to be a problem.
Is there a way to specify which packages to install but not insist on
the version?
What if I simply delete the column with package version?
If you could point me to some info about the --get-selections --set-
selections data format, maybe I can write a script that automatically
changes/deletes the version.
Yours,
Ivan
PS: I am also interested in replicating package configurations
(debconf-get-selections and DPkg::Post-Install-Pkgs) but I need to do
more research on that one before I start buging you with questions...
