In regard to: Re: Embedding rpm inside another rpm, Eli Carter said (at...:
There may be a way to bundle RPMs together so that rpm will install all of them, but I don't know how to do that.
It's not quite an RPM, but Jeff Johnson added "manifest" support to RPM long ago:
$ ls -1 perl-*
perl-Bit-Vector-6.3-3.rh2.1as.i386.rpm
perl-Date-Calc-5.3-1.rh2.1as.i386.rpm
$ ls -1 perl-* > manifest.rpm $ sudo rpm -ivh manifest.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:perl-Bit-Vector ########################################### [ 50%]
2:perl-Date-Calc ########################################### [100%]
In other words, given a text file with a list of file names (probably 1/line) containing RPMs, if you rpm -ivh the text file, it will install the files listed.
BTW, what's happened to JBJ? He's been conspicously absent from the list for quite a while.
