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?
