RE: [Cooker] [Holy Minimal Install]
Hi Pixel I tried urpmi once a will ago but at the time it was broken for some reason I can't remember (I think it had something to do with libs) ... so I hacked these two shell scripts together because I knew they would always work if rpm worked. I should try urpmi again. Try these two scripts attached -- the output is treed (gives you a good view of what requires what) and interactive. Maybe it'll give you some ideas - maybe not?

RE: [Cooker] About the text-based version of MandrakeUpdate
I'm sorry ... I should have been more specific. MandrakeUpdate doesn't work behind my companies ftp firewall and I think the problem is that MandrakeUpdate uses passive mode ftp transfers which are not supported by the firewall. I can't see any selection for turning off ftp passive mode in MandrakeUpdate. Also, I have seen other firewalls that need some sort of user account and password string to gain access through the ftp firewall. Although I don't need this myself I have seen other ftp clients that support this type authentication. Presently I work around the problem by mirroring to a local directory using wget's ftp transfer because it supports non-passive mode ftp transfer. I then use a short script to prune the old packages out of the mirror. I can't use rsync --delete because the needed port is not open though the firewall.

Keith, They do. Yesterday I used MandrakeUpdate and today I'm running mdk-update.pl (as I write this). Both work fine from my Mandrake 7.2 + updates + (bits of) cooker machine on my 192.168.1.x LAN connected thru my firewall machine via dial-up. By the way, I use a cool little tool called netmasq for setting my firewall rules. It's a shell script with simple, easy to use config files.

RE: [Cooker] About the text-based version of MandrakeUpdate
Could you make both MandrakeUpdate and the new text tool work from behind a firewall? -Original Message- From: Prana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 2:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] About the text-based version of MandrakeUpdate Okay, so people want it (is that your _final_ answer?) :-) Basically, the program will work almost exactly the same as MandrakeUpdate GUI tool, but with the following similarity and differences: Similarity: == - It will put the downloadeded packages in /var/cache/grpmi - It will use http://www.linux-mandrake.com/mirror.lists file as a reference (by Default - it's configurable). Then it will goes through from the very beginning of it. - Usual stuff, like verifying the signature of the RPM. Differences: == - It will _probably_ use libcurl so that the program can be finished before Mandrake 8.0 is out (when is the schedule?). Making yet another FTP client for a specific purpose will probably make the development time a bit longer. - I will probably add a feature to do the following: 1) Check if there's any modified file from the previous RPM package in directory /etc and /var 2) If there are modified file(s) in /etc /var from that RPM package, then the modified file will be kept temporarily to a temporary directory, then it will overwrite the file (only in /etc and /var) of the newer package. Thus, your old config won't be overwritten. 3) If it's a kernel package, --- hmmm --- Well, here it goes: a) Check if the config from /usr/src/linux/.config exists or not i) If /usr/src/linux/.config exists, then recompile the kernel automatically, and after that mail to the root user about the compilation status (whether compile is okay or compile is broken). If compile is broken then don't do lilo/grub. ii) If /usr/src/linux/.config doesn't exist, it means that the kernel was the same as supplied by kernel by default, and thus there's no recompilation, just do "lilo" Addition: - It will be put into /etc/cron.weekly task (that way people won't overload the FTP server - but you still can set it to /etc/cron.daily or even /etc/cron.hourly) I will post a more detail in a few days, and I will probably start working on it soon.
