cool, how I got it, so the hdlist.cz files are a binary that is put in the ftp sites, and it somehow contains a list of packages that are in the directory?? is it recreated by a cron job on the server whenever new packages are added?
thanks for the tip, much appreciated. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: Miark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 16 October 2002 1:20 AM To: Newbie at MDK Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] adding a contrib to urpmi. Frank, 1) Do the add command 2) Give the source a shorthand name of your choice 3) Specify the URL of the contribs RPMs directory 4) Use the word "with" and pecify the path of the hdlist relative to the RPMs directory. With normal packages, it's often ../base/synthesis.hdlist.cz, but contrib packages are usually in the same directory and hdlist is actually hdlist2. So in your case: urpmi.addmedia cif-contrib ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/unix/linux/distributions/Mandrake/9.0/contrib /RPMS/ with synthesis.hdlist2.cz Miark "Franki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> saith: > I want to add a contribs directory: > ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/unix/linux/distributions/Mandrake/9.0/contrib > /RPMS/ > > to mandrake9.0's urpmi sources...
