[ilugd] Offline Package Manager (RUM) version 0.0.1 released.
I hereby announce the release of the Fedora Offline Package Manager (RUM) 0.0.1. This program is meant to enable users who do not have a viable network connection to manage their packages, ie. install new ones and update existing ones, through the standard package management framework used in Fedora. If you are interested then you can read more about it at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SummerOfCode/2007/DebarshiRay This is a beta release and offers the following features: 1. Profile management: a. Exporting the profile of the local system. b. Importing the profile of another system. c. Deleting existing profiles. 2. YumPack creation - Although I have tested this to the best of my ability, I would appreciate if you could try to create new YumPacks and verify whether the dependencies are being correctly resolved. To install package(s) from a YumPack, you would need to untar the YumPack, which is essentially an uncompressed Tar archive, and use 'system-install-packages' to install the RPMs as you would normally do. Tar ball: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DebarshiRay/rum?action=AttachFiledo=gettarget=rum-0.0.1.tar.gz Pre-requisites: If you are using Pirut 1.3.9, then you would need to apply this patch on /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pirut/__init__.py: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DebarshiRay/rum?action=AttachFiledo=gettarget=pirut-changes.diff Installation instructions: 1. $ tar -xzvf rum-0.0.1.tar.gz 2. $ cd rum-0.0.1 3. $ ./configure --prefix=/usr (Other prefixes are not expected to work. Please bear with it for the moment.) 4. $ make 5. # make install Execution instructions: 1. $ rum Documentation page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DebarshiRay/rum This is lagging behind a bit, but will be eventually updated. Bug-reports and comments are to be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Happy hacking, Debarshi -- GPG key ID: 63D4A5A7 Key server: pgp.mit.edu ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Just wondering if there is a specific yum version dependency here ? Essentially, how well will it work with yum-2.4.x ? also, there already is a package for rum- and its already related to yum :/ what are you going to call the package name ? - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

sound good. Just wondering if there is a specific yum version dependency here ? Essentially, how well will it work with yum-2.4.x ? Most of the code is dependent on the core Pirut modules. Apart from the small patch that I had mentioned (committed in Pirut CVS), it works fine with Pirut 1.3.7 and Pirut 1.3.8. One has to look into what dependencies these versions of Pirut has on YUM. also, there already is a package for rum- and its already related to yum :/ what are you going to call the package name ? Don't know. Suggestions are welcome. :-) Happy hacking, Debarshi -- GPG key ID: 63D4A5A7 Key server: pgp.mit.edu ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
