That leads to a couple of interesting questions...
1. I have two dozen mdk 9.0 boxes around town.. and I have set most of them up to use the same urpmi sources. But its a time consuming process to do so.. is there some config file or directory that I can copy to the new servers to give them the same sources? (texstar, contrib, plf, updates etc)??? that would be very handy if I could just copy across some files and issue urpmi an update.. 2. All my mail servers use amavisd and a virus scanner to scan all main, (in and out.) for spam and virus's... now I'm using amavis-new which requires spamassasin, and both have need of a good many perl modules, and helper apps... Is there any application that I can use to create a shapshot of an installation process. (like installing all the requirements of spamassasin and amavis-new as well as the programs themselves.) so I can copy that snapshot to another mdk9.0 system and install the exact same snapshot? It takes ages to setup a fully functional amavis-new/spamassasin/Trend filescan mailserver. mostly due to installing many many perl modules.. (alot of which are not included in mdk9.0 and have to be compiled from cpan.) I'd love a way to automate it. Anyone got any tips on how I might do that?? (I know I could build the lot into an RPM, but that would take longer then installing it 2 dozen times. at least it would for me to do it.) regards Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jack Coates Sent: Sunday, 1 December 2002 11:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] urpmi --auto-select getting jiggy with apache No, but I do have plf, mandrakeclub-testing, contrib and texstar -- One of these days I'll have to figure out how MandrakeUpdate chooses the update source only when it looks.
