	RE: [taprobane] Packaging RPMs by Kosala Atapattu :: Rate this Message: \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message In my Debian systems I simply do "rpm -i --nodeps ", for packages that has only RPMs (like open office). I have a touch of LFS, so I tend to compile most of the packages, but now as a guide line I have defined what I'm gonna compile and what I'm not gonna compile. For example, I compile apache + PHP but never openssl openldap and imap. In simple terms it's ok to compile end nodes of the package trees. But never compile X like packages, which other programs are depending on, if you do your whole distribution is in a mess. In that basis I simply install RPMs as well. I install openoffice from RPMs by simply ignoring dependencies, but I make sure all the libraries are in place (not broken). Well this is yet another user comment from a frustrated user who is not really appreciating multiple distribution concept :-).

AFAIK having Saegiri in RPM form does not mean you mix distros dependencies in Taprobane. All it means is that you can build Debian based Taprobane within an RPM based distro. BTW checkinstall and alien might be a better way to install RPMs into Debian. -- chamindra http://www.linux.lk/~chamindra ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

" Installwatch is an extremely simple utility I wrote to keep track of created and modified files during the installation of a new program. It's fast and easy to use. It doesn't require a ``pre-install'' phase because it monitors processes while they run. Installwatch works with every dynamically linked ELF program, overriding system calls that cause file system alterations. Some of such system calls are open(2) and unlink(2).
