Re: packages in "base" that are not in "nobase"

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



Not sure if I understand want you mean, but...

You can do a nobase install, list all installed packages (rpm -qa), and save this to a file. Then install the base, en list all installed packages again. Export again to a file en diff those two files...

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Bart

I did a nobase install, then ran "yum groupinstall Base", but this just
lists everything in base, including the core packages.

Mainly, I'm just looking to audit the packages, and add only necessary
ones back to a nobase install.

So far, I've come up with sendmail, man, logwatch, logrotate, vixie-cron.

The yum group functions do not work well with hidden package groups.

Probably the easiest way to do what you want is to look at the comps.xml
file directly.

For CentOS-5 that can be found here:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/repodata/comps.xml

That file has all the groups and files that are part of CentOS (for all
current arches).

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
