rpm --rebuild problem
by dan1 11 Aug '04

11 Aug '04

Hi to all. I'm having a problem with the rpm command. I am used to recompile a source rpm with the following command: rpm --rebuild sympa-4.1.2-8.src.rpm The problem is that the result is as following: --rebuild: unknown option I tried to rebuild the rpm database, with --rebuilddb, but nothing does. I have installed CentOS 3.1 (latest) and I also have updated the rpm package to the version number: rpm-4.2.2-0.14 I have of course installed or updated the rpm-build, rpm-devel, rpm-python. I thought that it was this version of rpm, so I downgraded the version to : rpm-4.2.1-4.4 (also all other rpm packages). But problem is the same. Does anybody know something about that ? Else, can somebody tell me if he was able to use the rpm --rebuild option on CentOS 3.1 ? Or should I ask this question on the newsgroup linux.redhat.rpm (they might not be happy if I'm a CentOS user..) ? Thanks you in advance, Daniel

Shockwave Flash player for CentOS
by Rick Graves 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Hey, I am using CentOS-3 as a desktop distribution. With the exception of fewer red hats and some different logos, it looks exactly like RedHat 9 to me. The problem is some web sites do not work right, as there is no Shockwave Flash player and Java support seems to be a problem. For some web sites, I have to used Windows. I prefer not to download and install something that YUM could not help keep up to date. If I volunteered to be the "package maintainer", could browser enhancements be included in the "extras"? I am volunteering to be the package maintainer in part because I expect I would not actually have to do any package maintenance. Micromedia has a download for Mozilla under Linux, http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ and they say they support it for RedHat. I am hoping I will find a similar solution for Java. What do you say? Thanks, Rick Graves

Hello. I would like to know what kind of RPMs we can use for centos 3, appart of the common centos 3 repository. Can we for example take a RedHat 8.0 rpm and install it ? Or can we for sure take an src.rpm and install it this way ? Thanks for any advice, Daniel

by Doug Mayer 08 Aug '04

08 Aug '04

Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to move from RHEL ES 3 to CentOS-3.1? I've seen How-To's for RH9 --> CentOS-3, but nothing for the more horizontal move of EL3 --> CentOS3. Thanks in advance, Doug _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search. Find.
