[Cooker] urpmi and webfetch
Why does urpmi require webfetch? Webfetch is not even available as an rpm in the primary Cooker mirror. And it has no listing whatesoever on rpmfind.net? If this dependancy it wrong, can we have it removed, or if webfetch is in fact required, can we add it to the cooker? Thanks, David p.s. Please send replies to e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks
Re: [Cooker] urpmi and webfetch
I'm pretty sure that it's looking for webfetch, however what it REALLY wants is wget. The dependancy isn't wrong, so much as misleading.

Else it is nice to give better explanation what -p is for. It is an option to give a property/file required/package/provide to search package to install from this text. For example, urpmi -p KOI-8.so will try to update glibc (look at urpmq -p KOI-8.so also) as glibc provide KOI-8.so I will try to update this part of the documentation, is it online help and/or man pages which are not very clear ?

It is supposed to do something like that (I don't have tested it yet) as webfetch is provided by both curl and wget: search if it is provided by one of them, if this is the case do nothing (there is no version information as this level) else look if curl or wget is installed (as webfetch is provided by one of these packages) and update the package already installed, else ask user to choose one of them (not propable as previous version of urpmi already requires wget). Hmm ... it did not work at all and now suddenly it almost work. Except actually installing anything. After forcible removal of wget: [root@cooker root]# urpmi -p webfetch The following packages contain webfetch: curl wget And nothing more. Else it is nice to give better explanation what -p is for. I will try to update this part of the documentation, is it online help and/or man pages which are not very clear ? It is terse but if it supposed to works as described it is O.K. Because it does not work as described :-) I thought, may be it does something different. -andrej

What is level here ? we should take care according to version available, or we add a version information if necessary (virtual version so) but this is not needed currently. François.

For such thing, we can do a lot of things. But urpmi will still continue to work with local medium (while no network access are performed). I can add another support with perl module, but this is not mandatory for instance (other things to do). François.
