Personally I prefer to use Yum/DNF, these act like a front-end to the RPM command and will maintain an up to date database of package dependencies. If you’ve downloaded an RPM file from the Internet, there are a couple of tools you can use to install it. If you find that your distribution does not support installing an RPM file, you may need to look at other options such as. Generally RPM files are used in RHEL based distributions such as CentOS and Fedora to name a couple, however it has also been ported elsewhere. Not all distributions of Linux support RPM. They allow us to simply use an RPM file to install a software package, and when combined with package managers such as Yum or DNF we will also get all required dependencies downloaded and installed easily. Please be careful to ensure that version comparison specifications such as are properly specified in the XML file.RPM files exist to make the software installation and upgrading process easier.
To configure these tags in the plugin configuration, specify an element for each instance of the tag in the spec file the content of the element is the exact text to be placed in the spec file. conflicts identifies a package which must not be installed if the package being built is installedĪll of these tags can appear multiple times in the spec file.Corresponds to the Requires(preun) tag in the spec file. requiresPreun identifies a package that is required to be installed for the pre-removal scriptlet of the package being built to operate correctly.Corresponds to the Requires(post) tag in the spec file. Packages that are listed here are installed before the post-installation scriptlet of the package being built is run. requiresPost identifies a package that is required to be installed for the post-installation scriptlet of the package being built to operate correctly.Corresponds to the Requires(pre) tag in the spec file. Packages that are listed here are installed before the pre-installation scriptlet of the package being built is run. requiresPre identifies a package that is required to be installed for the pre-installation scriptlet of the package being built to operate correctly.requires identifies a package that is required to be installed for the package being built to operate correctly.provides defines a virtual package which is provided by the package being built.There are six RPM spec file tags related to dependency management: These parameters relate to the dependencies between RPM packages, not to the dependencies required to build the RPM package contents.
