The 'rmt' package is mostly about /usr/sbin/rmt binary. Similar (more recent) version of this binary is also in 'star' distribution tarball. See the bug #968980. If the binary _was_ compatible with dump, would it be possible to remove this subpackage from dump? And let it be obsoleted by star's 'rmt'? Thanks, Pavel

scm-commit (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20130603/1033762.html) How to test dump with new rmt delivered by star package. Dump patch has defined path to /usr/sbin/rmt directly. You need to have two machines or localhost on the one machine. On the one machine use following commands: 1) export RSH=/usr/sbin/rmt 2) dump -0 -f <username>@<ipaddress_of_another_pc_or_localhost>:<file> <path_to_directory> dump command has to be run under root user.
Thanks for testing and patch!

I checked it also (over ssh) and it works ok: RMT=/usr/sbin/rmt RSH=/usr/bin/ssh dump -0 -f localhost:/tmp/bootDump /boot (note that dump does not ask for ssh password so you need to use ssh-copy-id before) FYI: I have committed (and built) the changes in star in Rawhide — the Epoch of new rmt package from star.spec is '2', so it should replace rmt from dump.spec in a natural way. So from this time, the 'rmt' removal from dump is OK. Pavel
dump package was build up. scm-commit for removing star from section Requires (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20130603/1033773.html) -> CLOSED
