Greg,
This has possibilities, but it doesn't quite work. There's an odd number
of single quotes in the awk line that I've worked around to produce this
repolist file:
adobe-linux-i386
elrepo
epel
rhel-x86_64-server-5
rpmfusion-free-updates
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
The for loop:
# for repo in `cat repolist`; do yum list installed
--disablerepo=* --enablerepo=${repo} > rpms.${repo}; done
produces very similar output files:
[root@lion] ~
# dir rpms.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 222993 Jun 4 13:25 rpms.adobe-linux-i386
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 223015 Jun 4 13:25 rpms.elrepo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 223017 Jun 4 13:25 rpms.epel
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 222993 Jun 4 13:25 rpms.rhel-x86_64-server-5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 223038 Jun 4 13:26 rpms.rpmfusion-free-updates
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 223041 Jun 4 13:26
rpms.rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
These differ only in their first few lines. For example, rpms.elrepo
starts with:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, keys, kmod, list-data,
priorities, rhnplugin,
: tmprepo
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* elrepo: elrepo.org
diff says the rpm list that follows this header is identical in every
other rpms.* file. I think the rpms.adobe-linux-i386 should only contain
three entries:
adobeair-2.5.1-17730
adobe-release-i386-1.0-1
flash-plugin-10.2.152.27-release
I think I understand what you're trying to do, but I haven't a clue how
to get it to work.
