From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: When I am installing additional packages after the initial installation, the system prompts me for a CD. However, I make it a practice to copy all the current RPMS into a directory on my HD. This allows me to keep the release right up to date. It would be good if the installer prompted me for an alternative location like a network server or directory for the location of the required files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See description 2. 3. Additional info:
You can do this with command line flags, look at the readme in /usr/share/doc/redhat-config-packages-*
But my request is to have something much more user-friendly and dynamic, like "Browse for the files" instead of having to set arcane command-line variables.
I'm trying to use redhat-config-packages -tree=/mnt/cdrom and it says that cannot find 'ree=/mnt/cdrom'. Then I tried redhat-config-packages -t/mnt/cdrom and I get: bash-2.05b# redhat-config-packages -t/mnt/cdrom/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 164, in ? hdlist = im.readHeaders() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/method.py", line 776, in readHeaders update_method=None) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/hdrlist.py", line 100, in __init__ hdlist = rpm.readHeaderListFromFile(path) rpm.error: (2, 'No such file or directory')
This report is filed against a product which is no longer supported. It is very likely that the problem is resolved in the current version of Fedora Core or scheduled to be resolved with the new system-config-packages scheduled to land in Fedora Core 5.
