That would reduce your rpm's to a bunch of text files (if you install scripts, you depend on the script interpreter, like /bin/sh, if your scripts use rm, you depend on coreutils, if you install ELF executables you depend on glibc etc.) Even without external dependencies, having two rpm DB's defeats the purpose of rpm: your users now need to remember that your packages go into the special DB, while everything else goes in the normal DB; that makes it possible for them to install the same rpm twice, install two different versions of an rpm without anybody noticing etc. I highly recommend going to a one rpm DB setup. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble. David -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
