Mapping from old package names to new

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a kickstart file we’ve been using for at least a couple of years now.  However, with RHEL 6, the entire packages section bombs since apparently everything here has been changed.  Anyone have any thoughts about how to figure out what the mapping from the old to the new is?  I know how to get the list of package names, but how do I know what they contains as opposed to the old names (without a lot of painful trial and error)?  For example, we used to install the "development-libs" package. I now no longer see any package named that, so what is it? Is it "additional development"? Is it "compatibility libraries"? Has it been moved under development tools?  And that’s just one of about 40 lines in the kickstart packages section.

 

If anyone has any ideas about how to figure all this out other than just hoping and lots of errors of things missing (or lots of extra packages installed) I’d really appreciate it.
