Panu and all,
Thanks a lot for reply. I've see a lot of helpful
geniuses here...
My new question is: how to show the packages defined
in my own custom groups with a format similar to FC4
distro's comps.xml file?
'yum groupinstall <my_own_group>' works perfectly,
while 'yum groupinfo' shows only enclosed group names,
not packages in the enclosed groups.
I've tried to run 'repoquery -l -g <my_own_group>',
but this time even worse: it reports no output at all.
although 'repoquery -l -g core' and 'repoquery -l -g
base' reports all packages inside.
Any ideas of why this happened? I'm running FC4,
yum-2.4.1-1.fc4.noarch, yum-utils-0.3.1-1.fc4.noarch
and python-2.4.1-2.x86_64.
my repo definition file is put under
/etc/yum.repos.d/ and attached with this email, The
hand-crafted comps.xml for our own packages
installation is also attached. B/c it is FC4 I'm using
<groupreq> instead tag of <groupid>.
The following are the running results:
[root@testnode01 tmp]# yum groupinfo 'Example Custom
Install'
Setting up Group Process
Setting up repositories
Group: Example Custom Install
Required Groups:
Example Monitor Utilites
Example Original MySQL
Example Server
Example Log Processing Utilities
Example Crawl
Example Admin Utilities
Example Web Development
Example Web
[root@testnode01 tmp]# repoquery -l -g 'Example Custom
Install'
[root@testnode01 tmp]#
[root@testnode01 tmp]# repoquery -l -g 'Mail Server'
[root@testnode01 tmp]#
Oh, it seems that the argument to -g option should
ONLY be a single word?
Please have a look and see whether there are some
errors in my configuration files.
Thanks.
