Jeff, Is /bin/rpm's topological sorting stable?
That is, given three RPMs on the command line: # /bin/rpm -U rpm1.rpm rpm2.rpm rpm3.rpm are the RPMs guaranteed to be installed in that order, absent any inter-dependencies? If not, I assume my options to guarantee install order are: 1. Use PreReqs -- except I can't because I'm not in control of the RPMs. 2. Use --noorder 3. /bin/rpm -U rpm1.rpm && /bin/rpm -U rpm2.rpm && /bin/rpm -U rpm3.rpm Is that about it? Thanks, j. ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org Developer Communication List rpm-devel@rpm5.org
