I'm attaching a quick and dirty python hack that can extract this from a
yum filelist cache. You can run it if you like or give me the following
information and I can do it:
1) I'm scanning for inclusion of the following partial pathnames:
/usr/X11
/usr/bin/X11
/usr/lib/X11
/usr/lib64/X11
Are any of these wrong? Are there any more you can think of?
2) Which repositories do you want it run against? development,
development-extras, livna-*, ?
3) Which packages should I exclude from a final report? Anything with
xorg-x11 in front of it? Report it all and you'll sift the xorg
packages out?
How to run the script as is:
As root enable the repositories you wish to scan in /etc/yum.repos.d/*
and disable the rest.
rm -f /var/cache/yum/*/filelists.xml.gz
yum provides /some/nonexistent/pathname/here
As normal user:
python scandir.py| sort | uniq >/var/tmp/x11-pkgs
-Toshio
