RE: how to install rpm onto Solaris 10?

Hang on guys! The link http://www.sunrpms.org/software/sparc/5.10/pkgs/rpm-4.0.4-sparc-sol10.pkg is a error page showing “RPM downloads disabled”!

 

My gosh!

Hi hth,

 

Thanks for the great information!

 

I looked at openpkg first. It sounds perfect from the features page on the web site, but it doesn’t seem to have been active since 2006.

 

Then I looked at rpm5.org. I followed its doc page, it shows that the most recent doc is http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ . In section 19.1.1, it tells me to find rpm for various platforms at www.rpm.org/platforms/, over there, it redirected me to http://www.sunrpms.org/ where it provides Solaris 10 Sparc pkg of rpm. Oh yeah!

 

Point my mouse to the link, it shows that it is actually rpm-4.0.4-sparc-sol10.pkg. I come back to rpm 4!

 

Anyway, I got a pkg package of rpm which should be installable on Solaris 10. I will give it a go!

 

Cheers,

Yukun

Hi guys,

 

We are trying to use rpm as our application's package management system on Solaris 10. I wonder if anyone has experience installing rpm onto Solaris 10, preferably yum as well.

 

If I compile it on Solaris 10, there should be also a lot gnu c libraries required I guess.

Not is necessary to use gnu c lib or gcc itself to use rpm on Solaris: for maximum portability i raccomend rpm5 (http://rpm5.org) of course. RPM5 has been ported to many platform, with a mixture of diverse compiler and different c library as µClibc. OTHO, if you want a simple porting of rpm5 on solaris 10 you can use the openpkg  http://www.openpkg.org/  project. AFAICT most client sun use it.
