Hello,
I have created a group which contains 2 packages that are not depend on
each other (DB package and application package). They can be installed
on separate serves, or cohosted.
If they are to be installed on the same server using the group, I need
the DB package to be installed first. Unfortunately, YUM always install
the application first.
Is there a way to force YUM a specific installation order of
non-dependent packages?
If you have rpm >= 4.9.x, this will cause <db package> to installed
before the application IF they are in the same transaction:
OrderWithRequires: <db package>
...but that trick isn't available on older rpm versions. Also there's
nothing preventing somebody from manually first installing them in the
"wrong" order, resulting in non-working packages.
It's better to avoid such implicit ordering constraints to begin with.
You didn't specify the actual reason for this ordering limitation so its
impossible to say how exactly to fix it, but for example it might be
possible to put the order-dependent thing into a third package which
both the application and the db package require.
