Re: Install sequencing

If you have proper run-time dependencies, you can generally bootstrap the filesystem (provide a couple of necessary files and directories) and then do the initial RPM install in one big shot..

rpm -i <list of ALL of the packages>

(or -U) rpm will automatically reorder the install based on dependencies.. (but again this assumes you have proper run-time dependencies in your packages.)

Hi All-
I'm using RPM to install a complete embedded system of approximately
216 packages. Working from an alphbetized list of all the packages, I've
created a very simple shell script that uses rpmcache, followed by a
loop of 'rpm -i --aid' calls into a test install area. The end result is
what I'd call a properly sequenced list of rpm transactions to install
the complete system. But the resulting list is not optimal; it includes
some VERY large groups of rpms that could actually be broken up into
smaller sets.
Before I re-invent the wheel; has anyone got a suggestion on the
best way to do this?
Thanks.
