> o. Given a list of rpms, how do I satisfy their dependencies? I found the kickstart-tools utilities most helpful in my process of making a custom distro. You can find them at http://kickstart-tools.sourceforge.net/ Another tool I same accross is rpm-analyzer at http://www.maisondubonheur.com/rpm-analyzer/ Haven't really played around with it much though. It looks like it could do the trick. > o. What files are required by anaconda to get things installed? I think you need these anaconda packages (also a rquirement for the kickstart-tools utilities) -anaconda-runtime-9.0-4.i386.rpm -anaconda-9.0-4.i386.rpm If you want to rebuild anaconda (which I am trying to do right now with the help of this board) you will need the src rpms -anaconda-9.0-4.src.rpm Hope this helps AR ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Haberlach" <adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 9:16 PM Subject: Dependency management / python rpm module docs > Hi, > I've been on and off this list for a while, and I've now built > custom installations of RH 7.1, RH8, and soon, RH 9, and it's > gotten a little bett each time. > > This time around, I'd like to actually have something that I > can feed a list of required packages (say, the meaty part of a > kickstart.cfg), and have it troll through my pile of rpms to > pick up those files, everything needed by anaconda to run the > install, and all of their dependencies. > > I don't seem to see anything like that.
