Hello! I would like to ask if there is any way to install locally build packages from command line ? I am testing my RPM->Cygwin conversion tool. The idea of the tool is to be able to build a Cygwin package out of SRPM. I thought about conversion to Cygport, but it is impossible to fully automate this process. So far currently i've got a Python script which is based on RPM Python API. In order to build a package it goes through %prep, %build and %install stages of spec file, but instead of RPM it creates a Cygwin-style .tar.bz archive(s) with accompanying setup.hint file(s). The motivation to do it for me is to be able to build Tizen-targetted toolchain for Cygwin in a simple way without having to maintain cygport, which the company doesn't want to do.
The next step is to install the newly built package. I try to feed my directory with the package to setup.exe in "install from local directory" mode, but looks like it needs complete repository with setup.ini file, which i obviously don't have. I would like just to install the package without the need to generate repository. Is it possible ?
