[Yum] RPM Header Info..

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

 



Hello All --

First post and I'm completely new to YUM, but as I'm learning I'm also 
documenting my every step as I migrate from RHN to YUM.  

Anyhow.. for the sake of documentation I am trying to 'illustrate' how YUM 
'works.. 

And, as I'm reading the 'How it Works' info on the website I'm curious 
about the following line

<snip>
Every rpm has a header. That header contains a complete file list, 
package descriptions, lists of what features/libs it provides, lists of 
what it requires, what it conflicts with etc. In order for rpm to make a 
decision about what an rpm will need to be installed it needs the 
information in the header.
</snip>

My question is.. how can I view this 'header'?  How can I see exactly what 
YUM see's when it determines what dependencies and such?  I imagine this 
is a simple RPM command?

Just curious and documenting..

Jeff
