Hi,
it looks to me like the OpenPKG source bootstrapping procedure does depend on the availability of the traditional compress/uncompress. It came to my attention that due to patent issues the distribution of these programs is not allowed anymore. Therefore SuSE decided to not ship compress anymore starting with SuSE 8.0. SuSE proposes to use gzip instead of compress. ++ IFS=/ ++ echo '' opt openpkg + d=/opt + '[' '!' -d /opt ']' + d=/opt/openpkg + '[' '!' -d /opt/openpkg ']' + uudecode openpkg-1.1.0-1.1.0.ix86-linux2.4-ope.sh + uncompress uncompress: stdin: not in gzip format + cd /opt/openpkg + tar xf - + rm -f openpkg-1.1.0-1.1.0.ix86-linux2.4-ope.tar.Z konold@alpha:~> rpm -qf `which uncompress` gzip-1.3-311 What do you think? Should in the future gzip be a requirement for bootstrapping OpenPKG? Regards, --martin -- Dipl.-Phys.
