Hi, my rpmdrake is totally broken, somebody may fix some bugs.
I removed all sources and tried to insert new ones. There the first bug occures. If you chose local type and insert /my/dir it will fail. If you chose /my/dir/, with a trailing slash it will proceed. If you try to use "removable media" with unmounted cdrom i get an error. If i first mount it i can proceed. Except that the change disk dialogs have boxes for unprintable characters. Ther is another bug in this dialog, missing documentation. What the hell is a relative path from two sources? What's it all good for? Does it need a path, a filename or maybe the location of an existing file? What about some useful defaults? With my first tries i had the CDs and cooker in my list i had a memory usage of 800MB. I left it open for some installation processes, installed some packages tried it installed others, and so on. This 800MB was with every thing else closed, i got short of swap spache. I think there is a memory hole somewhere. For me it's impossible to add any package because i can't add sources propperly. I get no error adding a new source but there are no packages displayed for installable packages. Maybe it's because i left this relative path with two sources blank. I tried the cooker version 1.4-6 no go. Is there a project which develops rpmdrake or who is responsible for rpmdrake? Haug
