[Oscar-devel] locate_pkg in scripts/install_prereq

[Bernard Li]

Hi Erich:

 

I'm getting the following error in trunk on FC4 x86:

 

Executing: rpm -q createrepo-0.4.3-5.1e.noarch >/dev/null 2>&1
locate_pkg glob result: /tftpboot/oscar/fc-4-i386/createrepo-0.4.3-5.1e.noarch.rpm,/tftpboot/distro/fedora-4-i386/createrepo-0.4.3-5.1e.noarch.rpm

I don't think the code in locate_pkg is doing what you expect it to be doing.  Perhaps we should give preference to the oscar repo and if the package is located there, install that - otherwise install the one in distro and fail if it doesn't exist in either?  Or as you mentioned in your comments, there should be a version comparison in place.

 

BTW, while we're on topic, would it make more sense to put the distro/ oscar/ repositories under $OSCAR_ROOT now?  I'm thinking of /opt/oscar/repo/distro/ and /opt/oscar/repo/oscar/.

 

Cheers,
