RPM really treats them as normal packages, its just they way they are built that make them "subpackages." Granted, for each "version" of openafs-kernel I have installed, somewhere I've had to built the entire set of openafs packages with that version. Many of my RHEL machines look like this: pams% rpm -qa|grep openafs openafs-devel-1.2.11-9.EL openafs-kernel-1.2.11-6.EL openafs-1.2.11-9.EL openafs-kernel-1.2.11-10.EL openafs-kernel-1.2.11-8.EL openafs-kernel-1.2.11-9.EL openafs-client-1.2.11-9.EL > > Also, the plan was to have: > > openafs-kernel-<openafs-version>-<kernel-version>.<arch>.rpm > > Or openafs-kernel-<openafs-version>-<pkg.release>.<kernel-version>.<arch>.rpm. > > > -- > Matthew Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.mattdm.org/> > Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> > _______________________________________________ > OpenAFS-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel > -- Jack Neely <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Realm Linux Administration and Development PAMS Computer Operations at NC State University GPG Fingerprint: 1917 5AC1 E828 9337 7AA4 EA6B 213B 765F 3B6A 5B89 _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
