it goes something like this (replace local path with whichever protocol
and location you are using - although https is not yet supported in curl
in the openpkg toolchain):
/srv/x86rhel4/PKG/
python-2.4.2-20051111.ix86-rhel4-sls.rpm
openpkg index -r 'Test' -p 'x86rhel4' -i \
-o /srv/x86rhel4/Index.rdf \
/srv/x86rhel4/PKG/
openpkg build -B -p 'x86rhel4' -r /srv/x86rhel4/PKG \
-f /srv/x86rhel4/Index.rdf python
/skaar
