Hello every one …..
I using fedora linux and I have some package .rpm and I need one command for upgrading package and install new package .
And what a command for remove packade .
Thanks for all

What version of Fedora Core are you using? I have found the "smart" (http://labix.org/smart) package manager to work well for me, just as I have found yum to not work well at all. Personally, I like to decide what I am going to install, look over what I am going to install before I install it and install what I want to install the way I want to install it. "Smart" lets me do all of these things as well as lets me see everything about what I have installed whenever I want to. Yum doesn't have any of these features. "Smart" will be able to do everything that you have asked for above. However, you will have to manually install "smart" using rpm from the command line since yum can't even do that.

Indeed, smart is definetly recommendable over yum!

You can use rpm itself or yum. To install local packages with yum, do something like "yum localinstall somefile.rpm". To upgrade "yum upgrade somefile.rpm" and to remove do "yum remove somefile". I've never had any major problems with YUM.

yum is sloooooooow

Not for me. YUMs speed depends on your network connection and the mirrors near your country.

What about those who don't want to depend on being connected to the net in order to install or update their packages? Yum has no capability whatsoever to work with local packages. "Smart" does let you work with local packages, however. Further, command line oriented rpm may get the job done, provided you can wade through the clutter without getting totally lost and thereby possibly completely ruining your system because you missed something critical. That is why "smart" is so good, being a GUI front end to rpm. It lays everything out for you to see and look over however many times you need to, before you actually do the operation.

You can configure yum to use your installation discs as package sources. There is a thread about this somewhere in the Fedora Core forum. Smart can be installed without a GUI and used from the command line. YUM also has gui's available and one of my favourite ones is yumex.

And what about local packages that are not on your install CDs, like xine, qemu, etc.? Further, configuring yum to work with the install CDs is quite difficult, as the presence of a thread in the Fedora Core forum would seem to suggest. On the other hand, I had no trouble whatsoever figuring out how to use "smart" right off the bat.

That is true but isn't what I do. When I referenced "smart," I meant "smart" with the GUI.

my friends i need one command for upgrading package and install new package .
as slackware (upgradepkg --install-new *.tgz
i need same command for fedora 4

That installs a local package (as I mentioned in my first post ) and if there are any dependencies, yum can search for them on other sources you have configured. I am not sure how hard it is to use yum with your installation discs, but it seems like its not so difficult particularly if you use the dvd. From fedoraforum.org, all you need to do is add the code below to /etc/yum/repos.d
I think it was a great error on the FC devs not to include some way of doing this graphically, because it it would make the procedure easier for some people.

What exactly are you trying to do. If you are trying to upgrade a package thats already installed, you can do
or

Neither yum localinstall nor yum localupdate work with the yum version (i.e. 2.3.2.7) that is originally installed by the FC4 install CDs. You need yum 2.4.X for that and you can't get the yum that you do have to install it if you don't want to connect your computer directly to the net.

This would be interesting to try out, considering that I was able to get kyum installed using "smart," once I had "smart" installed. Kyum, unlike yumex, doesn't require yum 2.4.X so I installed it just to see what it looked like. Maybe, in time, I might also upgrade yum and install yumex, just to see what it looks like. My understanding is that "[base dvd]" and "name=Fedora Base DVD" are tags that I can safely replace with any other names of my choosing. I have the set of 4 install CDs and not the install DVD. Please let me know if that is not correct.

Further, I use "smart" to do things other than to install packages. For example, if I want to install a package for some program and I want to find out where the program's executable is going to be placed, I can find that out from "smart." I did not see that same capability with kyum.

Its a pain in the backside, but things are going to be easier for FC users because starting from FC5 onwards, there are going to be re-spins of Fedora Core so that users can get isos of FC with updated packages.

I'm not really sure since I prefer using the online repo. I am sure it will work fine if you configure each individual cdrom as a seperate source in /etc/yum/repos.d.

Thats a good feature. YUMEX has this but the last time I tried using it, it didn't work properly. Anyway rpm itself and kpackage can show the list of files in a package (whether its installed or not).

This may be true and maybe lion_heart_300 might even find it useful, once he has his system on its feet so to speak. However, it doesn't help him out now whereas "smart" will, and that is why I recommended "smart."

I wish that I had kpackage. But, it has been mysteriously left out of the FC4 version of the kdeadmin rpm. I hunted high and low all over the net for an alternative rpm that would have kpackage, and even considered compiling and installing kpackage's source code, all without success. Then, by pure chance, I found "smart."
