All,
I have built rpm 4.1 for arm-linux, to run on arm-linux. But it doesn't work. :( What am I doing wrong?
Oh, you want more detail? ;)
So far, I have rpm 4.1 built to run on x86, but create packages for armv4l.
Using that, I built rpm 4.1 to run on armv4l and use packages for armv4l.
There's a structure alignment patch in rpmio/rpmpgp.c for arm that you want. Check
the rpm package at netwinder.org for the patch (you might have to diff rpmpgp.c yourself).
I'm not having any luck finding a delta for rpmpgp.c Comparing this: http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/netwinder/netwinder/SRPMS/base/nw9/rpm-4.2-0.69.src.html With 4.2-1 from rpm.org didn't show a rpmpgp.c delta. Is this something that was merged into the main-line 4.2?
I found a discussion regarding ARM alignment issues here: http://www.netwinder.org/~brianbr/alignment.html
Is this what you are refering to?
and rpm -qa (which shows no output, as expected).
But, problem #1:
rpm --install complains that the packages are "intended for a armv4l architecture"
And
# rpm --eval='%{_arch}'
i386
I was expecting it to give 'armv4l' or similar instead. Ok, so I use --ignorearch to get around that for now, and rpm will install the packages successfully. The files are installed as expected.
Watchout, you can be tricked by --eval. The goal of macro config is to set up a context for
parsing the spec file, so add %dump to a spec file and parse with rpmbuild -ba to verify values.
_arch is set to i386 in 'macros', changing it there changes the output of the eval....
Hmm, but it doesn't change the "intended for a armv4l architecture" message contrary to my assumptions on the matter. Hmm... Doesn't look like it's %_host_cpu or %_host_os.... what controls this?
Anyway, getting -qa, etc working is more important for now.
__db.001 contains dbenv locks, opened/created when the environment is created. An strace will show
anal retentive checks to avoid a file race creating __db.001, the checks insure that the process was actually
the creator of __db.001.
Ah. Thanks for the explanation.
If all the indices were created with lazy open, and Packages has changed size, then the package was
probably installed correctly. Add -vv to the install args watch the entries being created.
The install sure looks like it is installing correctly... all the files show up, the database in /var/lib/rpm gets updated (lots of files, presumably indexes), -vv looks ok to me[1] and shows /var/lib/rpm ...
Make sure that rpm -qa is opening the correct database, use --dbpath explicitly, or check with strace.
# rpm -vv -qa D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0 D: locked db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: closed db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages bash-2.05b# Same thing with "rpm -vv -qa --dbpath /var/lib/rpm"

Is there anything in 4.1.1 that might affect me?
I think that when installing rpms that require rpms that I had just installed, rpm complained that those dependencies were missing... so I think rpm's internal queries are also broken. (I'll double check this symptom.)
Is there something I should look for to determine what's going on here?
Thanks again for your help thus-far,
Eli
