Well, Steffen Weinreich already answered. The -U - and -F - options are
documented in "man rpm", i think.
I have another problem. I use some machines as "masters", where the
software is build from sources. Then the generated binary packages
are installed on other machines.
I upgraded the machines that build from sources with
openpkg build -i -g -u openssl | sh
But when i try this with binary packages
openpkg build -p <platform>
-r ftp://bla/.../RPM/PKG
-f ftp://bla/.../RPM/PKG/00INDEX.rdf.bz2
-i -g -u
I get
FATAL: cannot find source for 'openssl'
Is there a better way to upgrade using binary packages ?
Is "openpkg build -i -g -u <pkg>" the/a proper way to upgrade anyway ?
