** This file is hopelessly out of date! **

Not yet implemented in 2.0:
|
|
|
|
. --where and --search
|
|
|
|
New in RPM 2.0 (or previously undocumented):
|
|
|
|
*** Install
|
|
|
|
--replacepkgs - will install a package even if it's already in the database
|
|
--replacefiles - will install a package even if the files it contains conflict
|
|
with others
|
|
--force - same as "--replacepkgs --replacefiles"
|
|
|
|
*** Uninstall
|
|
|
|
*** Upgrade
|
|
|
|
*** Query
|
|
|
|
*** Verify
|
|
|
|
Verification output is much more readable. Notes config files, etc.
|
|
|
|
*** PGP Signatures
|
|
|
|
RPM now supports optional PGP signatures embedded in RPM packages.
|
|
Only 1024 bit keys are supported, and the signature "covers" the
|
|
header and archive sections of the package. The "lead", which
|
|
makes up the first 96 bytes of every package is not covered by
|
|
the signature. This should not be cause for alarm as the lead
|
|
is only used by file(1), and by RPM to determine the package type
|
|
(either source or binary) and architecture.
|
|
|
|
The rpm(1) man page has some details on using PGP signatures.
|
|
|
|
*** Spec file (RPM building)
|
|
|
|
. Summary: ...
|
|
A one (short) line description of the package. This field
|
|
takes over what Description used to do, but is limited to
|
|
a single line. For an interim period, if the Summary is
|
|
not defined the description will be used instead.
|
|
|
|
. Description: ...
|
|
An optional mulit-line description of the package.
|
|
|
|
. Packager: ...
|
|
Name and email address of the person who "maintains" the RPM
|
|
|
|
. URL: ...
|
|
A place to put a URL for more info on the package (http://...)
|
|
|
|
. Serial: ...
|
|
This number should be monotonically increasing with each new
|
|
release of the package. If present, it will be used by RPM
|
|
to define an ordering. If not present RPM tries to determine
|
|
the ordering from the Version field.
|
|
|
|
. %package -n foo
|
|
Builds "subpackage" with name foo-Version-Release
|
|
|
|

%ifnarch <arch>+
|
|
%else

|
|

|
|
|
|
. %verify can be used to control which aspects of the file are verified
|

|
. %attr can be used to specify mode, user and group of files
|
