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.

Ah yes, thank you. I for some reason followed 2 different set-up guides. One did not state that and the other (OpenPKGs) did. Thank you for helping me to realize this.
Any suggestions from anyone on the RH9.0 - RH7.1 issue? Should I just do rpmbuild on the source rpms from openpkg on each of the systems rather then go through the process of building them with openpkg if it will create rpms for the wrong redhat version
