Hello. So recently I had to install "Deluge" on GNOME (CentOS 6.2 CentosPlus
O.S.) from sources and have had a nightmare trying to resolve all the
dependencies, at last I quit trying to install it as I could not figure out
how to start the daemon, anyways, the point is, for some of the dependencies
and packages I used various rpm's and tarballs and for others I used yum,
now, this idea came to me:
$> cat ideas
When installing with yum (`yum install <packet>') you should specify a group
you have created (`yum groupcreate <name>') in which the specified packets
will be installed.
This is to be done in case you only need specific packets (and dependencies)
installed for one application but in the end it fails or you want to quit
installing it from sources.
The group will aid you in having all the installed packets and dependencies
over there (just the names of the packets and dependencies) so you can `yum
removegroup <group name>'
which will prompt you if you want to remove all the packets dependencies or
you can `yum removegroup <group name> <packets and dependencies>' to remove
various packets and dependencies
after you have listed them with `yum grouplist <group name>'.
The packets and dependencies will still install as usual only that they will
receive a 'tag' or 'ticket' that will make them belong to a certain group,
where you have them arranged
and specified so it comes easier for you to search and remove/update/whatever
certain packages and dependency files.
What do you (developers) say about this? Any advice if there is something
similar to this? Any quick tip to remove all the dependencies I installed
since last 30 minutes? Except the .bash_history file, haha!
Hi,
Have you looked at the commands:
yum history list
and
yum history undo <transaction id>
those seem like what you want.
