First, you "rpm --rebuild this-program-version.src.rpm" This will unpack the source code, and compile it into an i386.rpm, usually located in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386. You then "rpm -ivh this-program-version.i386.rpm" or "rpm -Uvh this-program-version.i386.rpm" if upgrading. And what

Yup...you just "rpm -i this-program-version.src.rpm" (I think I wrote this in another message). This drops a tar.gz file in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES which you can monkey with. On Fri, 29 Dec 2000, rpjday wrote: On Thu, 28 Dec 2000, Michael Burger wrote: It's actually a 2 step process.

i386.rpm vs src.rpm

2000-12-28 Thread Ted Gervais
Could someone tell me how a .src.rpm file is installed versus a .i386.rpm file. I know the .src.rpm file is a 'source'file but I am not sure that the installation of an .src.rpm file is done using something as simple as 'rpm -ivh *.src.rpm'. It seems to me that more work is needed?? Whereas

It's actually a 2 step process. First, you "rpm --rebuild this-program-version.src.rpm" This will unpack the source code, and compile it into an i386.rpm, usually located in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386. You then "rpm -ivh this-program-version.i386.rpm" or "rpm -Uvh this-program-version.i386.rpm"

just a few side notes. i rebuild a lot of src rpms. so many that i made a small script where all i need to do is type rpmrb file.src.rpm . i just did: pico /usr/local/bin/rpmrb rpm --rebuild --target=i686 $1 chmod 100 /usr/local/bin/rpmrb now for patching. like mike said, installing the
