Hello ,
I am using linux vserver with gentoo as host os and scientific linux
guest os(RHEL compatible). I am managing the rpm packages from the
host os with vapt-get and vyum. However there is a requirement on
certain vservers that their users have to be able to execute rpm -qa
and get a list of the installed rpms .Naturally right now the list is
empty.
because the rpm database is kept external
I would like to avoid having to maintain both an internal and
external rpm database.
change to an internal rpm database ...
from the 'vserver --help':
pkgmgmt externalize|internalize [-y]
... externalize or internalize the package-management for the
given vserver. 'Externalize' means that package metadata
and management tools (apt-get,rpm) are living in the host,
while 'internalize' means that data and programs from the
vserver will be used.
Is it possible somehow for the vrpm from the host os and rpm from
within the vserver to return the same list?
.. and maintain the guest (on the host) with
the internal database ...
Unfortunately I would like to avoid that:/ . I just want them to
be able to query the rpm database. I would like to stick with package
management from the host since it is a life saver.
Cheers ,
