Hello all, We are planning to use rpm for installing and maintaining our software on an embedded system which has some restrictions on the amount of memory it can have (both RAM as well as disk). Can anyone advice us on which version of RPM can be considered most stable and quite lean in terms of its resource requirements. We need only basic features of installing/upgrading based on simple dependencies. I understand that 4.2.1 has a lot of problems. Also, can anyone tell us how big the RPM database will be if we use rpm to install just 5 packages. Does the size of the database depend on the size of the installed images/packages? Can the size of the database be minimised/customised to store just the information we need. We only need it to store the name of the package, the capabilities it provides and what capabilities it requires. Thanks in advance. Ram Prakash.
