You should certainly use inter-subpackage requires in any case, if they are genuine. But that won't help DNF (or Yum), as with local install they only know about the files they are told about. But, what you *could* do is: 1. run "createrepo_c" on your directory of downloaded RPMs, 2. use `dnf --repofrompath local,.`, and then 3. use `dnf install packagename` In step 1, createrepo_c is a drop-in but faster replacement for createrepo. In step 2, the syntax is "--repofrompath made-reponame,path", so you could do '--repofrompath "My Repository",/home/mattdm/Downloads/RPMs'. In step 3, use the package name not the file name, so no .rpm on the end. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
