One of the "features" in rpm is that you could get specific unambigous (modulo multiple identical --relocate'd instances which noone has ever really needed/used) by simply doing
pkgs="`rpm -qa`" with the default format. Because the Cooker "default" format now has an extra '-' character which hasnever been there before, there's a bit more work to do to fix the input argument parsing, Reproducers in Cooker (and with Distepoch:) are trivially arranged like this: =========================================== rpm=rpm pkgs="`rpm -qa`" echo "==> `date -u --rfc-3339=seconds`" npkgs=0 for pkg in $pkgs; do echo "----- $pkg" $rpm -q --wnh:primary.mongo $pkg npkgs=$(($npkgs + 1)) done echo "npkgs: $npkgs" echo "<== `date -u --rfc-3339=seconds`" Sure I know how to change the "default" --queryformat string. 73 de Jeff ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org Developer Communication List rpm-devel@rpm5.org
