GENHDLIST2(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation GENHDLIST2(1)NAMEgenhdlist2 - generates an hdlist and a synthesis file
SYNOPSISgenhdlist2 [options] dir
OPTIONS--clean
Do not use existing hdlist.cz, build hdlist from scratch.
--file-deps
Use the given file to know which file dependencies are used by
other media. Here is an example of use:
package foo in medium contrib requires /bin/bar
package bar in medium main has file /bin/bar
% echo /bin/bar > media/media_info/file-deps
% genhdlist2--file-deps media/media_info/file-deps media/main/release
without file-deps, media/main/release/media_info/synthesis.hdlist.cz would not provide /bin/bar.
This option is not needed for file-deps inside a same medium.
--no-md5sum
Do not generate MD5SUM file.
--no-bad-rpm
Do not abort on bad rpms.
--no-clean-old-rpms
Take into account old-rpms.lst, but don't remove rpms from
repository
--only-clean-old-rpms
genhdlist2 will only clean old rpms from repository, it will not
update hdlist/synthesis.
--nolock
Don't lock the media (can be useful when locks fail, eg NFS). Since
the lock is used to verify no other genhdlist2 process is running
on the same media, it is a dangerous option.
--allow-empty-media
By default if no *.rpm files are found, genhdlist2 will exit on
error. To allow building empty media, use this option.
--media_info-dir directory
Write hdlist/synthesis in this directory instead of
<dir>/media_info (mostly useful for debugging)
--synthesis-filter SUFFIX:FILTER
Use SUFFIX for filename suffix and filter through FILTER for
compression. By default genhdlist2 will use '.cz:xz -5'.
--xml-info
Force to generate xml info. By default genhdlist2 will only
regenerate xml info files already there in media_info/
--xml-info-filter SUFFIX:FILTER
Use SUFFIX for filename suffix and filter through FILTER for
compression. By default genhdlist2 will use '.lzma:lzma -5
--text'.
--versioned
Force to generate versioned media info.
-v Be verbose. Use one more -v to get even more verbose.
--quiet
Quiet mode.
DESCRIPTIONgenhdlist2 is used to generate an hdlist and an associated synthesis
file from a set of RPM packages found in the directory passed on the
command-line. It will put the hdlist and synthesis files in
media_info/ sub-directory.
Without --clean, genhdlist2 is incremental, ie it will use existing
media_info/hdlist.cz: it will first remove package headers for packages
that are no more in the directory. It will then add new packages. This
makes an important assumption: name-version-release-arch is enough to
uniquely indentify a package. So if foo-1-1 is in hdlist, genhdlist2
will keep it and not bother verifying if it really is the same package.
Contrary to gendistrib, genhdlist2 doesn't have to be work on all media
at once. For this, it assumes no inter media file dependencies are
used. If you still have inter media file dependencies, you can use
option --file-deps.
