Hello all,
I have been put in charge of testing OpenPKG for installing updated rpms on our RedHat servers. Currently we have servers running Redhat 7.1, 7.2, 9.0. I am attempting to build rpms on a 9.0 system and install them on a Redhat 7.1 system. When I build the rpm using the steps in the OpenPKG handbook, I create an rpm for a RH9.0 system. This obviously isn't a good result. Is there something that I can do to create this "system wide" rpm? It did also create a src.rpm which i could rpmbuild if i needed to (haven't done it yet)
One last thing,
It is my understanding that if an admin needs to run a command, say ssh <server>, he would need to do openpkg ssh <server> in order to use the newer binary installed from openpkg. Is this correct. Does this hinder day-to-day operations at all?
Thank You Very Much
Adam

Adam, OpenPKG creates "normal" binaries. I've installed all of mine to /openpkg, which is symlinked to /usr/local. The only time I use the 'openpkg' command is to create/install/manage rpm's.
