Coralys.com announces the first release of a handy utility (GPL)
to help you maintain your RPM-based systems by covering some
features that the RPM program is missing.
What is RpmLevel
----------------
Most Unix operating systems have a program that shows you which packages
have been installed and which patches have been applied. Within the Linux
camp the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) is widespread. RPM gives you a lot of
querying possibilities but it is missing some.
So after you installed your brand new Red Hat (or derivation) system,
you want a quick summary of the state of affairs in your system so
that you can schedule system upgrades in response to the
Security Advisories and Erratas, and perhaps even add some 3rd extra
packages.
This at least has been one of my constant worries, specially when I
keep two Red Hat machines at home and one at work. Now I can, and so
can you!
Features
--------
Here are the major features.
* Written in Perl.
* Keep track of the system patch levels with respect to the
original distribution CD.
* Quick overview of Not-Installed packages, Upgraded packages,
Downgraded packages and Extra (third party) packages.
* Works with Red Hat systems.
It has been designed and tested with Red Hat systems, but with some
modifications it should work on other RPM-based systems such as SuSE
and Mandrake.
