.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBrpm\fR is a powerful \fBPackage Manager\fR,
|
|
which can be used to build, install, query, verify, update, and
|
|
erase individual software packages.
|
|
A \fBpackage\fR consists of an archive of files and
|
|
meta-data used to install and erase the archive files. The meta-data
|
|
includes helper scripts, file attributes, and descriptive information
|
|
about the package.
|
|
\fBPackages\fR come in two varieties: binary packages,
|
|
used to encapsulate software to be installed, and source packages,
|
|
containing the source code and recipe necessary to produce binary
|
|
packages.
|
|
.PP
|
|
One of the following basic modes must be selected:
|
|
\fBQuery\fR,
|
|
\fBVerify\fR,
|
|
\fBSignature Check\fR,
|
|
\fBInstall/Upgrade/Freshen\fR,
|
|
\fBUninstall\fR,
|
|
\fBInitialize Database\fR,
|
|
\fBRebuild Database\fR,
|
|
\fBResign\fR,
|
|
\fBAdd Signature\fR,
|
|
\fBSet Owners/Groups\fR,
|
|
\fBShow Querytags\fR, and
|
|
\fBShow Configuration\fR.
|
|
.SS "GENERAL OPTIONS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
These options can be used in all the different modes.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB-?, --help\fR
|
|
Print a longer usage message then normal.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--version\fR
|
|
Print a single line containing the version number of \fBrpm\fR
|
|
being used.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--quiet\fR
|
|
Print as little as possible - normally only error messages will
|
|
be displayed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB-v\fR
|
|
Print verbose information - normally routine progress messages will be
|
|
displayed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB-vv\fR
|
|
Print lots of ugly debugging information.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--rcfile \fIFILELIST\fB\fR
|
|
Each of the files in the colon separated
|
|
\fIFILELIST\fR
|
|
is read sequentially by \fBrpm\fR for configuration
|
|
information.
|
|
Only the first file in the list must exist, and tildes will be
|
|
expanded to the value of \fB$HOME\fR.
|
|
The default \fIFILELIST\fR is
|
|
\fI/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc\fR:\fI/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc\fR:\fI/etc/rpmrc\fR:\fI~/.rpmrc\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--pipe \fICMD\fB\fR
|
|
Pipes the output of \fBrpm\fR to the command \fICMD\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--dbpath \fIDIRECTORY\fB\fR
|
|
Use the database in \fIDIRECTORY\fR rather
|
|
than the default path \fI/var/lib/rpm\fR
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--root \fIDIRECTORY\fB\fR
|
|
Use the file system tree rooted at \fIDIRECTORY\fR for all operations.
|
|
Note that this means the database within
|
|
\fIDIRECTORY\fR
|
|
will be used for dependency checks and any scriptlet(s) (e.g.
|
|
\fB%post\fR if installing, or
|
|
\fB%prep\fR if building, a package)
|
|
will be run after a chroot(2) to
|
|
\fIDIRECTORY\fR.
|
|
.SS "INSTALL AND UPGRADE OPTIONS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The general form of an rpm install command is
|
|
.PP

\fBrpm\fR {\fB-F|--freshen\fR} [\fBinstall-options\fR] \fB\fIPACKAGE_FILE\fB\fR\fI ...\fR
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
This will upgrade packages, but only if an earlier version
|
|
currently exists. The \fIPACKAGE_FILE\fR
|
|
may be specified as an
|
|
\fBftp\fR or
|
|
\fBhttp\fR URL,
|
|
in which case the package will be downloaded before being
|
|
installed. See \fBFTP/HTTP OPTIONS\fR
|
|
for information on \fBrpm\fR's internal
|
|
\fBftp\fR and
|

|
is \fI/var/spool/repackage\fR).
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--test\fR
|
|
Don't really uninstall anything, just go through the motions.
|
|
Useful in conjunction with the \fB-vv\fR option
|
|
for debugging.
|
|
.SS "QUERY OPTIONS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The general form of an rpm query command is
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
\fBrpm\fR {\fB-q|--query\fR} [\fBselect-options\fR] [\fBquery-options\fR]
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
You may specify the format that package information should be
|
|
printed in. To do this, you use the
|
|
|
|
\fB--qf|--queryformat\fR \fB\fIQUERYFMT\fB\fR
|
|
|
|
option, followed by the \fIQUERYFMT\fR
|
|
format string. Query formats are modified versions of the
|
|
standard \fBprintf(3)\fR formatting. The format
|
|
is made up of static strings (which may include standard C
|
|
character escapes for newlines, tabs, and other special
|
|
characters) and \fBprintf(3)\fR type formatters.
|
|
As \fBrpm\fR already knows the type to print, the
|
|
type specifier must be omitted however, and replaced by the name
|
|
of the header tag to be printed, enclosed by \fB{}\fR
|
|
characters. Tag names are case insensitive, and the leading
|
|
\fBRPMTAG_\fR portion of the tag name may be omitted
|
|
as well.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Alternate output formats may be requested by following
|
|
the tag with \fB:\fItypetag\fB\fR.
|
|
Currently, the following types are supported:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB:armor\fR
|
|
|
|
Wrap a public key in ASCII armor.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB:base64\fR
|
|
Encode binary data using base64.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB:date\fR
|
|
Use strftime(3) "%c" format.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB:day\fR
|
|
Use strftime(3) "%a %b %d %Y" format.
|
|

\fBrpm\fR {\fB-V|--verify\fR} [\fBselect-options\fR] [\fBverify-options\fR]
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
Verifying a package compares information about the installed files in
|
|
the package with information about the files taken from the package
|
|
metadata stored in the rpm database. Among other things, verifying
|
|
compares the size, MD5 sum, permissions, type, owner and group of
|
|
each file. Any discrepancies are displayed.
|
|
Files that were not installed from the package, for example,
|
|
documentation files excluded on installation using the
|
|
"\fB--excludedocs\fR" option,
|
|
will be silently ignored.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The package selection options are the same as for package
|
|
querying (including package manifest files as arguments).
|
|
Other options unique to verify mode are:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--nodeps\fR
|
|
Don't verify dependencies of packages.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--nodigest\fR

\fB--nomode\fR
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB--nordev\fR
|
|
Don't verify the corresponding file attribute.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The format of the output is a string of 8 characters, a possible
|
|
attribute marker:
|
|
|

.nf
|
|
\fBc\fR \fB%config\fR configuration file.

|
\fBl\fR \fB%license\fR license file.
|
|
\fBr\fR \fB%readme\fR readme file.
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
from the package header, followed by the file name.
|
|
Each of the 8 characters denotes the result of a comparison of
|
|
attribute(s) of the file to the value of those attribute(s) recorded
|
|
in the database. A single
|
|
"\fB.\fR" (period)
|
|
means the test passed, while a single
|
|
"\fB?\fR" (question mark)
|
|
indicates the test could not be performed (e.g. file permissions
|
|
prevent reading). Otherwise, the (mnemonically
|
|
em\fBB\fRoldened) character denotes failure of
|
|
the corresponding \fB--verify\fR test:
|
|
|

.SS "DIGITAL SIGNATURE AND DIGEST VERIFICATION"
|
|
.PP
|

The general forms of rpm digital signature commands are
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
|
\fBrpm\fR \fB--import\fR \fB\fIPUBKEY\fB\fR\fI ...\fR
|

|
|
\fB\fIPACKAGE_FILE\fB\fR\fI ...\fR
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fB--checksig\fR option checks all the digests and signatures contained in
|
|
\fIPACKAGE_FILE\fR to ensure
|
|
the integrity and origin of the package. Note that
|
|
signatures are now verified whenever a package is read,
|
|
and \fB--checksig\fR is useful to verify
|
|
all of the digests and signatures associated with a package.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Digital signatures cannot be verified without a public key.
|
|
An ASCII armored public key can be added to the \fBrpm\fR database
|
|
using \fB--import\fR. An imported public key is
|
|
carried in a header, and key ring management is performed
|
|
exactly like package management. For example, all currently imported
|
|
public keys can be displayed by:
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBrpm -qa gpg-pubkey*\fR
|
|
.PP
|
|
Details about a specific public key, when imported, can be displayed
|
|
by querying. Here's information about the Red Hat GPG/DSA key:
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBrpm -qi gpg-pubkey-db42a60e\fR
|
|
.PP
|
|
Finally, public keys can be erased after importing just like
|
|
packages. Here's how to remove the Red Hat GPG/DSA key
|
|
.PP
|

\fBrpm -e gpg-pubkey-db42a60e\fR

|
|
\fBrpm\fR \fB--addsign|--resign\fR \fB\fIPACKAGE_FILE\fB\fR\fI ...\fR
|
|
|

.PP
|
|
Both of the \fB--addsign\fR and \fB--resign\fR
|
|
options generate and insert new signatures for each package
|
|
\fIPACKAGE_FILE\fR given, replacing any
|
|
existing signatures. There are two options for historical reasons,
|
|
there is no difference in behavior currently.
|
|
.SS "USING GPG TO SIGN PACKAGES"
|
|
.PP
|
|
In order to sign packages using GPG, \fBrpm\fR
|
|
must be configured to run GPG and be able to find a key
|
|
ring with the appropriate keys. By default,
|
|
\fBrpm\fR uses the same conventions as GPG
|
|
to find key rings, namely the \fB$GNUPGHOME\fR environment
|
|
variable. If your key rings are not located where GPG expects
|
|
them to be, you will need to configure the macro
|
|
\fB%_gpg_path\fR
|
|
to be the location of the GPG key rings to use.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For compatibility with older versions of GPG, PGP, and rpm,
|
|
only V3 OpenPGP signature packets should be configured.
|
|
Either DSA or RSA verification algorithms can be used, but DSA
|
|
is preferred.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you want to be able to sign packages you create yourself, you
|
|
also need to create your own public and secret key pair (see the
|
|
GPG manual). You will also need to configure the \fBrpm\fR macros
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB%_signature\fR
|
|
The signature type. Right now only gpg and pgp are supported.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB%_gpg_name\fR
|
|
The name of the "user" whose key you wish to use to sign your packages.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For example, to be able to use GPG to sign packages as the user
|
|
\fI"John Doe <jdoe@foo.com>"\fR
|
|
from the key rings located in \fI/etc/rpm/.gpg\fR
|
|
using the executable \fI/usr/bin/gpg\fR you would include
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
%_signature gpg
|
|
%_gpg_path /etc/rpm/.gpg
|
|
%_gpg_name John Doe <jdoe@foo.com>
|
|
%_gpgbin /usr/bin/gpg
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
in a macro configuration file. Use \fI/etc/rpm/macros\fR
|

for per-system configuration and \fI~/.rpmmacros\fR
|
|
for per-user configuration.
