i have a Centos 5.5 server that some staff have installed some extra packages on. I'm in the process of building a 5.6 server and want to include the packages / updates from the previous server. Can this be done easily? Was thinking of listing everything in a text file then using yum install to populate anything that the old server has that the new one doesnt?

or it is the same as: #yum list ?
I am searching for a program which may be used in order to display a list of "leaf" packages (i.e. installed packages upon which no other installed packages depend), but only those "leaf" packages which are not marked as being mandatory packages belonging to some installed group. For example, assume we have package group "Example" which comprises the following packages:
core-package-one [ MANDATORY; installed; ]
core-package-two [ MANDATORY; installed; ]
extra-package-alpha [ OPTIONAL; installed; not required by any other package; ]
extra-package-beta [ OPTIONAL; installed; required by extra-package-alpha; ]
extra-package-delta [ OPTIONAL; not installed; ]
Format: <package name> [ <group priority>; <install status>; <leaf status> ]

If such a tool does not exist, I would like to create it. However, I am new to RPM-based systems, and, as such, I am having difficulties finding the necessary documentation. Should I be reading the yum source code? Is there some sort of document describing the package database on RH/CentOS/etc. systems and how 3rd party applications are supposed to work with this database?
I'm trying to list installed packages on a remote server. I don't see a way to do this with either yum or rpm.In particular, I'd like to list installed packages on a remote server, and list only those packages installed from our own repo
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been google'ing around recently for some good solutions for creating local yum "update" repositories without syncing entire repositories. (or adding hundreds of exclude statements in config files)
I have several boxes with a common base build (centos 5.5/x86_64), one has nagios3, another has apache, and another tomcat6 (also a couple of others) For tomcat and nagios I'm obviously using 3rd party repositories (jpackage, epel, rpmforge to name a few) Everything is installed via RPM from kickstart.
I would like to make an updates repository which contains the updates for everything that's installed (including centos base).
Updates will be downloaded on a separate box, but not sure how to get the list of packages required on that box where the packages are not actually installed. I've looked at reposync and mrepo, but appear to be syncing from what's available rather than what's required.
I was hoping that I can provide an "rpm -qa" output, compare this to a "yum list" or perhaps running "yum check-update" on a list rather than installed packages. I could then use the yum-downloadonly module to get the packages which have changed from available sources.
I'm not sure what more to say than what is in the title. The install stops with the message of "Updating the list of available packages".
I can't copy and paste from the log screen, but. code...
how do I save installed packages in a list and restore ...
rpm -qa > installed-software.log
yum install $(cat installed-software.log)
sorting rpm packages by size
rpm -qa --qf '%{SIZE} %{NAME}
' | sort -n

So far I have not found a way to view the packages that are installed with the 'SERVER-GUI' option.
I would like to upgrade my 'Server' to a 'Server-GUI'.
I recently got a new desktop, and did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope. The reason I installed 9.04 is because the laptop I have been on for the last 7 years or so suddenly stopped operating with grub updates. I would t urn the computer on and it would never get past the 'grub loading' screen. but thats a whole different story. So I did a fresh install of 9.04 off of a startup disc I made a while back. Then I copied my /home file from my laptop (the old one) and inserted it into the new desktop's /home directory. Worked like a charm (more or less), and all my settings were transferred to my new computer. Desktop, Preferences, Admin stuff, I can't find a problem with it. Now for the applications.
I've tried multiple how-to's but none of them have worked. I found one that told me to do the following in terminal. Keep in mind, although I've been running Ubuntu for about three or four years now, I would still consider myself a noob. Anyway:
sudo dpkg --get-packages <filename><destination>
this left me with a text only file called 'package.selections' I was then to copy this file into the home folder on the new computer and run the following:
sudo dpkg --set-selections <directory>
Up until that last command, everything worked just fine. The list had tons of package titles (none with a .deb or anything though) and their state, got it on to the new computer and ran the code only to get the following error:
dpkg --set-selections does not take any argument
So i ran it without the directory, and it gave me a new line. So I typed in the directory and it gave me the following:
dpkg: unexpected end in package name at line 1
I've tried numerous other commands changing up the syntax as I go, but haven't gotten any farther. My goal is to have all the same applications installed on my new rig without having to go and install all the packages one by one.
I had a data structure like this:
I sort the list like this:
I think the logic is correct, maybe just some details.
Now my question is
1) Can I simply merge node1 and 2 without sorting? Like node_list1.merge(node_list2);
2) If not, how can I copy list1 and 2 into list3?
OS: RHEL / CentOS If I use "yum" to add / erase packages, OS will log the info to file /var/log/yum.log.
But if use "rpm -e" to remove a package, there is no related log file to show which rpm package got earsed. I have to run "rpm -qa > /tmp/$TIME", and then diff the /tmp/$TIME file to get the difference.
Is there is command to show the erased packages (erased by using rpm -e)?
pkgtool just lists it in alphabetical order.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a bash script to copy a list of files and do some stuff to them. Basically, I have the code written that does what it needs to do, but I can't quite understand why it works. I was hoping someone could clear up my understanding a bit.
Code:
The first line generates a list of files. I wrap each line in quotes because they usually have spaces in the directory names.
The second line changes IFS, and I understand what IFS itself does. What I don't quite get is what the separator becomes with that echo statement. If I'm reading that correctly, the backspace will remove the newline and essentially the result is nothing? I found this solution on a web page somewhere, but it was years old and there was no real explanation.
I will like to get a text file of the packages that need to be updated in my ubuntu 9.10 machine.
The thing is that I previously did an update an its made my Zoneminder setup fail, and now I want to double check prior to doing a full upgrade.
If anybody could provide me with a command in the terminal or event synaptic, which could help get a printout or export to text file, the current version in my system with said that need to be updated to, for every packages.
I would like to copy few myDSL extensions/plugins to dsl.isowiki says: "When a new version of DSL comes out, just copy your additional applications to the root directory of the CD-ROM. There is no more need to redo a custom remaster to get your favorite applications on the live CD -- no more time consuming uncompressing, chroot'ing process, or accidentally making coasters"."How to copy myDSL packages to .iso so that its still bootable afterwards?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to list all installed packages by keyword. For example I want to know what packages were installed related to "game". How can I do that in Fedora?
I tried 'yum list installed', 'you search' ... but still can't find a solution. I'm not a yum expert .
I get annoyed sometimes that from one Fedora release to another, some programs get renamed or put into different packages. Examples:
* Gnome's volume control applet. Used to be provided by gnome-media, now it's moved to control-center. Worse, the command itself was renamed from gnome-volume-control-applet to gnome-sound-applet, so I couldn't even try a `yum provides` search to locate it.
* Gnome's Disk Usage Analyzer tool. Used to be in a package by itself, baobab. Now it's provided by gnome-utils.
Is there a wiki or something where the full list of all renamed/repackaged programs can be found? I'm not a Gnome desktop user, so, while I'm sure all the packages I like from Gnome are just there out-of-the-box for most users, it doesn't help me very much. The volume control applet for example is extremely useful for other desktop environments (and Gnome itself really doesn't have much need for it anyway, since they have their own built into the window shell).

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn MacPorts, the ports I would be looking for are the requested ports. They have a system so that when you install a port, that port is marked as requested. Also if you want to keep a port that was installed as a dependency, you can set it to be requested manually. Does the Debian system have the same functionality? It seems that there are some utilities that get that done..
