Re: Download RPM for Redhat, install on Redhat 6.2
Here's a fragment from a config file that I use to bring newly installed
RH6.2 servers up to speed .... I've applied the patches, over a dozen times
(on brand new, from-CD, installations) and it seems to work reliably.
... however, as this is an OpenLDAP list, we should probably find a Linux
forum to continue this thread if necessary....
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# upgrades:
# ---------
# "^" ==> upgrade with "rpm -Fvh ..." (freshen, do not install)
# "^U" ==> upgrade with "rpm -Uvh ..." (update, install if not present)
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# RPM must be up-to-date. RedHat released 3.0.5 in August 2000, and it has
# been considered a good idea to make sure that this version is available for
# all patches released after that date. Then, in March 2000, they updated
# to 4.0.2.
#
# Now, just to be safe, we're spend a bit of extra time -- updating to 3.0.5,
# and then using that version to make sure the installation of 4.0.2 and its
# prerequisites ('db3' and 'popt') are installed correctly.
#
# 1) Aug-2000 rpm updates
# rpm System Environment / Base rpm-3.0.5-9.6x.i386.rpm
# rpm-build Development / Tools
rpm-build-3.0.5-9.6x.i386.rpm
# rpm-devel Development / Libraries
rpm-devel-3.0.5-9.6x.i386.rpm
#
# 2) Mar-2001 prerequisites
# tcl Development / Languages tcl-8.0.5-35.i386.rpm
# db3 System Environment / Libraries db3-3.1.17-4.6x.i386.rpm
# db3-devel System Environment / Libraries
db3-devel-3.1.17-4.6x.i386.rpm
# db3-utils Applications / Databases
db3-utils-3.1.17-4.6x.i386.rpm
# popt Development / Libraries popt-1.6.2-6x.i386.rpm
# - 'libtcl' is a pre-req for 'db3' (why TCL for a database backend?)
#
# 3) Mar-2001 rpm updates
# rpm System Environment / Base rpm-4.0.2-6x.i386.rpm
# rpm-build Development / Tools
rpm-build-4.0.2-6x.i386.rpm
# rpm-devel Development / Libraries
rpm-devel-4.0.2-6x.i386.rpm
