Announcing AutoRPM 1.5!
*DESCRIPTION*
AutoRPM is a program that can do any combination of the following: mirror RPMs
from an FTP site, keep installed RPMs consistent with an FTP site or local
directory, and keep installed RPMs in a cluster or network of systems consis-
tent. It is highly flexible and even contains a very nice, menu-driven
Interactive-Install mode.
*NOTE*
The default config file is now just a sample and it requires work by you
to actually enable AutoRPM to do anything. One person with a non-standard
system experienced trouble when AutoRPM auto-updated an official updated RPM
because he hadn't modified the default config file early enough. This will
no longer be a problem.
***********************
* For Red Hat Linux 5.0
***********************
Get the non-achitecture-specific main program:
ftp://ftp.kaybee.org/pub/redhat/RPMS/noarch/autorpm-1.5-1.noarch.rpm
Get the Perl library needed:
ftp://ftp.kaybee.org/pub/redhat/RPMS/noarch/libnet-1.0502-4.noarch.rpm
And make sure you have the 'dialog' program that came with Red Hat Linux 5.0.
Oh, and you also need Perl.
***********************
* For Red Hat Linux 4.X
***********************
Get the programs above from ftp.kaybee.org, but for your appropriate
architecture. Just FTP there and you'll see ;)
