Re: YUM install [package.rpm] fails on Solaris, reports success

[Joshua Burns <joshuaburns@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this information.

It seems that trying to build this RHEL source package under Solaris is quite problematic - are these "patches" (those found in the RHEL source packages) written/modified by RHEL folks so that they can be backported (like the Linux kernel sources are)?

Can you provide a rpm.org version number that has the patches equivalent to RHEL's 4.4.2.3-18? We would like to give this a try rather than trying to get support for RHEL's patched source.

Thanks,

Josh

not exactly in the case of yum.

I know reasonably well the set of patches in the yum in rhel5.4 -all the stuff that matters are upstream.
