Hello all,
I have a system which has basic OS installed and few packages not using rpm. I want to build rpm database on that machine, so that I can install rpm packages in future.
Any pointers in on this will be highly appreciable. Has somebody on this mailing done similar in past, please share your experience.
I did this with LFS -
the way I did it was to bootstrap the install with rpm.
Build rpm, then build rpm packages for the files that were previously installed w/o rpm - and --nodeps install them.
Once you have a few key packages, like bash, glibc, binutils, and a couple others (I think there were six) the rest is almost cake, once you get the order right.
The hard part is writing all the spec files - you want to duplicate exactly what was put in from the tarball when built from source code.
