RPM on FreeBSD

2012-01-11 Thread Miller, Vincent (Rick)
Hi all, I realize it has been a while since I've posted any progress of my RPM5 install on FreeBSD, but I did want to provide an update. I was able to install RPM5 with relative ease from FreeBSD ports. The only real challenge was that libSM failed to compile when it attempted to include /usr

Hi, I've got RPM installed via FreeBSD ports. The next step is to create the stub package which contains all the files that are already installed. The vpkg-provides.sh script does not specifically support FreeBSD. I've considered modifying it to support it. How much of the script will need
