So, after installing 160MB's worth of package, just to install
rpm-build, I still can't rebuild the package
I'm now updating the whole syste, which will install another 53MB
worth of packages. Sadly, google don't have an answer to my problems.
[root@temp01 /]# rpmbuild --rebuild xen-3.2.0-0xs.centos5.src.rpm
You should not run rpmbuild as root (unless xen needs that - I am not
sure, I don't use xen).
rpmbuild requires some additional RPMs.
You should really (!) try out all this stuff in some sort of VM.
I assume you have enough (umetered) bandwidth at home/work and only
the colo-traffic is paid by MB.
Yes, it's wasteful to download a DVD image and we should all use less
resources to save the planet.
But even on our old 600/500 (kBit/s, not MBit/s) line at the old
office, the download of a DVD ISO would just take a weekend.
And if even that is an issue, two minutes of searching via Google
found this:
http://www.pricecheck.co.za/offers/2632237/Linux%3A+CentOS+5.1+DVD+%2B+Free+postage%21/
That's
http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert?amt=55&from=ZAR&to=EUR&submit=Convert
about 4 Euro and 20 Euro-Cents.
Is your time really worth so little?
Hi Rainer
No, I pay for bandwidth everywhere in my country, at home / office /
colocation / etc. Needless to say, I'm trying to setup a VM for stuff
like this. I only have one 64bit PC, and would like to use it for both
32bit & 64bit environments, so I was told that Xen 3.0 (which is the
default in CentOS 5.1) won't work, I need Xen 3.2 - but there's no 64bit
rpm's available, and it seems no one actually has 64bit rpm's ( I find
this very very strange), and people also think that bandwidth all over
the world is free, or even cheap
So far, I've downloaded 254MB's worth of stuff just to install
rpm-build, and I still can't get it to work. Unfortunately those who
have managed to rebuild it think it's too much to share in their
experience, so Im running around in circles, downloading everything I
can think of to try and get it to work.
[root@temp01 /]# du --si /var/cache/yum/*/packages
4.1k /var/cache/yum/addons/packages
123M /var/cache/yum/base/packages
4.1k /var/cache/yum/extras/packages
131M /var/cache/yum/updates/packages
[root@temp01 /]#
P.S. This was a new installation this morning, so I didn't have any
updates or newly installed packages in those folders before stating this
project.
