Hi,
I've been looking at OpenPkg now for several days and like what I see, but I seem to be missing somethings:
I'm using Whitebox Linux (a RedHat Enterprise 3 clone) which isn't supported. What could I do to the bootstrap procedure to convince openpkg I'm using RHEL3 so I can just download the prebuilt packages? Any pointers?
2. After building and executing openpkg-2.1.0-2.1.0.ix86-whitebox3.0-ope.sh I can setup the opa environment and see the basic openpkg commands.
- I can download the src rpms. - I can build them - I can install them
However this whole process is manual and you need to know all the package building dependencies to get the "interesting" rpms installed. This is slow, error prone and time consuming.
I've since seen that there is openpkg-index and openpkg-build which appears to be a tool to allow me to build (and install?) updated packages immediately. Is that so and is it documented? If not could someone give me some pointers as to what to setup so I can use it.
I'd like to keep OpenPKG uptodate. Someone on this list suggested yum to do this (though it is not ported to openpkg) and I am unsure how this should be done or if it can be done "reasonably" automatically using OpenPKG tools. Can someone clarify is this is possible?
Sorry for the newbie questions. I'm think the whole OpenPkg idea is very nice. I'm unsure if the information I'm "missing" is "work in progress" or me not being able to find it.
Thanks for any feedback.
Regards,
