Here is a little utility I use to build a listing of the content of all the rpm in a directory. I hope it could be usefull to someone else and perhaps a listing like that could be included in the ISO image or in the ftp areas. Any comment welcome. PS: I'm a newbie in rpm management and this can already exist elsewhere. #!/bin/sh # File : rpms-content # Author : Frederic Lepied # Created on : Sun Sep 19 20:53:55 1999 # Version : $Id: rpms-content,v 1.2 1999/09/19 20:04:34 fred Exp $ # Display the content of all rpms found in the specified directory # or in the current directory with the following format: # # <file path name> <package name> # # The output is sorted. output() { args=$* read a while [ -n "$a" ]; do printf "%-75s %s\n" $a $args read a done } if [ $# -gt 1 ]; then echo "usage: `basename $0` [<dir>]" 1>&2 exit 1 fi if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then cd $1 fi for p in `find . -name '*.rpm'`; do base=`rpm --query --queryformat %{NAME} -p $p` echo $base 1>&2 rpm --query --list --provides -p $p | output $base done | sort # rpms-contents ends here -- Fred - May the source be with you
