Hi,
How to install first time the rpm management s/w on the PowerPC Linux (vanilla) 2.6 disless embedded (without direct access to Internet) system, built from scratch ?
I was told to use
rpm2cpio {rpm,popt}-* | cpio -dim
Do I need to install the popt package, rpm-build and/or rpm-python (non-rpm ? - what? ) packages first - if needed how could I could check if those packages are installed already ?
I downloaded rpm-4.3.2-5.fc3.ppc.rpm package
and applied rpm2cpio {rpm,popt}-* | cpio -dim
It worked ( at least partially it did work for me - I got "rpm"
executable out of it ...?) without having "popt package" ?
but (rpm2cpio {rpm,popt}-* | cpio -dim)
did not extract librpm-4.3.so (or any other lib* ) out of
rpm-libs-4.3.2-5.fc2.ppc.rpm
... is it really there ?
- any other alternative way to extract librpm-4.3.so ?
