Nono, the order is not important - rpm will find out for you.
The trick is to do 'rpm -Uvh' (without quotes) followed by all
rpm-packages on the command line. That is, all the tetex packages, you
want, dialog and other packages tetex might require.

This is almost definitely one of those questions where if you have to
ask you shouldn't be doing it (no offence meant).
If you want to experiment with building glibc by hand, the best thing to
do would be to build an entire system from scratch (see
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/). If you try to retrofit a hand-built
glibc into a packaged distribution, chances are that your packaging
system will end up being useless anyway, so you'd have a much less
needlessly painful time building the whole thing from scratch from the
beginning.
If you just need a newer glibc, you'd be better off seeing if Red Hat
have a development distribution available for download which contains
it.
(I was under the impression that 2.2.3 was the latest glibc, anyway? At
least, that's what Debian unstable has at the moment.)

Subject: RPM creation problem
Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 22:48:31 +0100
Reply-To: "Dimitris Terzis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi folks...
I am trying to create my first (!) RPM, a quite simple one but for a
critical purpose.
More specifically, I want to update a script in a remote server which only
allows software uploading via RPM. I try to do that on a Linux box, 2.2.14
Kernel, with RPM 3.0.2. The only thing I want this RPM to do is copy the
file in its proper location.
So, I create a very simple spec file, update.spec, like this:
=======================================================================
Summary: Blah blah
Name: update
Version: 1.0
Release: 0
Copyright: GPL
Group: System Environment/Base
Source: ./SOURCES/script.tar.gz
Patch: ./SOURCES/null.patch
BuildRoot: /home/rpm
%description
More blah blah
%prep
%setup
%patch
%build
%install
cp /SOURCES/script <destination_dir>
%files
/SOURCES/script
%defattr(755,root,root)
%defattr(755,root,root)
%doc
%changelog
=======================================================================
Notice that I use my own path for sources etc., instead of the default
/usr/src/redhat. So, the command I use
rpm --define '_topdir /home/rpm' --define '_tmppath
/home/rpm/tmp' -ba update.spec
Now, here's what I get back:
=======================================================================
Executing: %prep
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/rpm/BUILD
+ cd /home/rpm/BUILD
+ rm -rf update-1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Spurious
+ /bin/gzip -dc /home/rpm/SOURCES/script.tar.gz
+ tar -xvvf -
-rw-r--r-- dimitris/dimitris 10240 2001-05-16 19:07 script
+ STATUS=0
+ [ 0 -ne 0 ]
+ cd update-1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ERROR
/home/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.39233: update-1.0: No such file or directory
Bad exit status from /home/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.39233 (%prep)
=======================================================================
Obviously, the error occurs because of the failed "cd", but since the rm -rf
command happens as a default action, I can't override it. Besides, not
exactly being experienced with RPMs, I 'm almost certain there are other
problems with my oversimplistic spec file.
Could someone then provide a better version that compiles and works (i.e.,
copies the script to the desired location, after a "rpm -iVh")?
Many thanks,
Dimitris

Thanks for your help! I'm running the latest stable kernel (2.4.4), and
besides this weird X-behavoir my system runs fine.
I will take your suggestions into account and see if I can fix it. Right
now, however, I'm curious if the problem will occur again. It happened both
on Monday and Tuesday, although I do not see any connections between the
problem and the actions I was performing on the system when it occured (one
time I was working on a document in StarOffice, the other time I was
reading mail in kmail). Ever since Tuesday, the problem hasn't occured
again, although I still used StarOffice and kmail as always. I find it
really strange and now I'm somehow really curious to see if (and when) my X
will crash again... ;-)
Greetings
Nils

That was uncalled for, colin. Bug 47000 looks kosher to me!
Yes, I don't like man-db. A db for caching manpages isn't neccessary in
these days of fast cpus and fast disks. It's complication that I feel
is unneeded. And there was a time when debian man-db plain didn't work
(it seems better nowadays) in a networked environment. Plus, the
instructions were incomprehensible.
The report in question was headed:
Subject: man-db tries to write in read-only partitions
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 9 Oct 1999 13:12:37 +0200 (MET DST)
And pointed out that the man-db package at that time (1999) tried to
write in the /usr hierarchy from time to time. Boom. That seems to
me to be clear enough as a bug report!
I said that it wasn't a very good advert for debian to have the
man pages not working.
It is very "unsightly" to users. It undoes the work of persuading them
to read manpages in the first place.
I still see problems with man-db. I have no idea why, but occasionally
it just won't see manpages that I can read with nroff. The only cure is
to su - man, and run man-db.
Have a look at the report and see if it makes more sense to you now!
Are you the maintainer? I remember a conversation partly in german
with the author, whoever it is.
I went on to complain about the documentation, pointing out what made
it so wonderfully incomprehensible. Has that been fixed ...

Yes, good idea. But if you're scp'ying a directory, there won't be any
trouble with the filenames inside.

If you're dealing with source, you don't have much of a choice but to use
./configure, and make... unless you want drill down through all of the Makefiles
to adjust "make install" to fit a particular installation path. Definitely read
the install notes which came with the source code. Above all, be extremely
careful... a broken glibc could leave you with an unusable system.

You could also set up a cronjob with rdate, ntpdate or run ntpd to have
your time correct.

I don't know of a Windows sftp/ssh server. Try www.ssh.com (haven't
looked myself) or google.

No. Samba has got nothing to do with ssh/scp/sftp.

openssh is an implementation, not a protocol. The protocol is called ssh
:)
I like TeraTerm Pro
(http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html) with TTSSH
(http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html). There is also one on
www.ssh.com, but it is commercial - but can do sftp. There is also one
called winscp (does ftp-like scp).

To the nearest pizzaman, so you don't get hungry while installing things

Subject: Add SCSI module to installation image?
Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 17:39:43 -0500
Hi,
For a product I'm working on, we take a Red Hat 7.0 installation CD
"image" (i.e. copy everything off the CD to a filesystem), modify it
(add additional RPMs, mostly), and then use that new "image" to burn new
customized install CD's for our product (or install via NFS, during
testing, using kickstart diskettes).
Okay, that's worked fine for us all along.
Now comes a new SCSI adapter (to replace an old one, made by the same
company, but a newer model) that won't work with the "gold" Red Hat 7.0
installation CD (you get an error message during install about not
finding any disks to install on). We have obtained a driver for Red Hat
7.0 (already compiled in .o format) that will let Red Hat 7.0 work with
the old SCSI adapter or the new one.
The instructions that come with it talk about going out to a command
line and running insmod on the module during a manual install. That
works fine.
The PROBLEM is that our install is completely automatic and unattended.
We need to replace the .o file in the install "image" so that the image
will work either way without intervention. I tried replacing the .o
file in modules.cgz (in instimage/modules) but that didn't help (and
broke the install for systems using the older SCSI adapter).
Surfed google & RH's web site for a while and could not find an answer.
Oh, yeah, final caveat - we install the SMP kernel on the systems (but I
have no idea what's on our kickstart diskettes - I think it's UP). I
have two different .o files (one for SMP and one for UP).
Anyone have any clues how I might do this?
(And moving to Red Hat 7.1 would be a massive amount of work and
regression testing for us that we're trying to avoid at all costs, even
though 7.1 works on both the old and the new SCSI adapter out of the
box).
Thanks so much in advance,
Peter
