Creating an RPM database
I need to build an rpm on my deb system to deploy on some redhat systems (more specifically: I need to checkinstall realplayer's bin file to get a rpm), but I noticed debian's rpm install doesn't create a database. How can I create a database and tell rpm to us it?

I'm not sure if I understand exactly what your after here but the command:
rpm --rebuilddb rebuilds the database. |
Whoa! Do you mean that you want to create a sort of rpm database of all files you've installed, whether it was via apt-get or source or rpm, then transfer that db to another computer?
Good luck... |
MasterC, I've wondered a few times why
RPM doesn't have a feature like this ;) If you install a package successfully (doesn't happen too often but sometimes you can't get source-tarballs but only binary-rpm's) it would be nice if one could trigger RPM to build a database that assumes the dependencies had been met ;) and presents those to other packages as present :} Cheers, Tink |
Bah, who needs RPM anyway....:)
|
I'm still lost as to what exactly Null is trying to do here. Null are you coming back to respond? I'm losing sleep over this one.

Crashed:
From my understanding debian (like slackware) doesn't use rpm to maintain software installations. Therefore if you try to install RPMs you'll have to use rpm -i --nodeps because there's for instance no entry for your glibc in the database... or any other package, for that matter. But I might have misunderstood him/ over-interpreted :} Cheers, Tink |
