similar to: Slackware's 'explodepkg' equivalent for rpm?

Hi, I'm running a small business (http://www.microlinux.fr) offering various services around GNU/Linux, among which migrating folks from Windows to Linux. On server and desktops, I'm using CentOS exclusively. I know, Fedora would be more suitable, but I like the solidity of CentOS, and I can always build the odd missing bits myself from Fedora SRPMS. My heavily customized

I want to get the original version of /etc/clamd.d/amavis.conf from the amavisd-new rpm to get the defaults to submit a bug report. I could not figure out how to do this, so I did a reinstall, but it did not replace this file (whatprovides says it comes from this rpm). Is there a way to extract just the one file, and better yet, place it elsewhere than its regular destination? thanks

Hi, There's a linux cluster somewhere (using Rocks), and I use remote desktop (nxmachine) to do the work on the frontend of the cluster. The desktop is Gnome. And, I intend to install new nVidia driver, but it requires me to stop the X Server. I check around the internet, they say we can use the /etc/init.d/gdm stop, but I can't run it since the gdm file does not exist. Another alternative

Hello! Accidentally deletes the file daemon, / usr / lib / samba / classic / smbd. Now I can not start Samba, Samba reinstalling again in the newer version I would lose my settings? It will overwrite existing files or just bring back the excluded? I use a distribution derived from Suse, when I try to install the yast he asks that some libraries are installed: *libstdc + + **libstdc + +-devel

Hi Is it possible to take an rpm apart to see what it will do to a system and see what files are inside the package? thanks

Hi, there I'm totally new to this. I used to use SPLUS, but think maybe useful to try R at home. But seems it doesn't like me. I got error message says ld: cannot open -lg2c: No such file or directory My OS is openlinux 2.3. I use egcs-2.91.66. I searched under /lib/egcs-2.91.66/ but found no libg2c.a. There's only a libgcc.a. Thought maybe g77 people changed

Hello, I have a simple shell script that I use to generate an iso installer depending on the release version that I want. The thing is that I extract isolinux and menu.c32 from the syslinux rpm of the latest redhat release. The reason I am doing it this way is because of the This is what does it: copymenu32() { # $ cat /local/kickstart/templates/os-updates.txt # RedHat-5.8|20120425

hello, I started with ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/SRPMS/firefox-2.0.0.16-1.fc8.src.rpm with the hope of rebuilding it for el5/centos. All of the dependencies were available (mostly from rpmforge) except one: something called system-bookmarks. I elected to comment out this from the spec, firefox.spec I did the extracts with CPIO rpm2cpio firefox-xxx.src.rpm |

I am trying to install Ruby-1.8.7p302 on a CentOS-5.5 server in preparation for a Rails-3 application deployment. I have downloaded the source from Rubyforge.org, unpacked it, and ran ./config and make. Everything built without error. I then ran checkinstall to create an rpm package. That too completed without error. However, when I try to install the resulting package using: yum localinstall

Hello All Up until now we have been using standard PXE boot to do kick start installs of centos boxes. With recent machines however they come by default as EFI boot. We can set them to legacy but I would like to solve this before this option goes away. Just wondering if anyone has any experience setting up a net boot server that can be used to kickstart EFI machines? Thanks Grant

i've built up rsync on both opensuse & osx from src. on osx, it's v2.6.3 w/ both apple's "Extended Attributes" patches: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.8.ppc/rsync-24/patches/EA.diff http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.8.ppc/rsync-24/patches/PR-3945747-endian.diff and the 'lartmaker' fix (iteself, slightly fixed ...):

Allow an alternate libc, such as dietlibc, to be used for the init binary in the supermin appliance. Rich.

Hi, let's make supermin use /etc/os-release as primary source instead of the various release files in /etc; apparently distros (e.g. openSUSE) are starting removing them.
