Rpmfind − find rpms on the internet
rpmfind
[options] names...
rpmfind -h
rpmfind [--apropos] keyword
Rpmfind tries to solve the big problem of finding appropriate RPM packages on the net.
It analyzes the current state of the system, checks a remote database using HTTP to lookup the packages providing the best affinity with your current software base and also list the extra packages that you need to install to solve the missing dependencies.
Rpmfind can also do the transfer once the list of packages has been established.
|
−h |
List all available options | ||
|
−v |
Increase rpmfind’s verbosity (you may double this option: -v -v). This can be useful for debugging purposes, or just to know what’s going on. | ||
|
−-auto |
This option tells rpmfind to do the transfer without asking for confirmation. | ||
|
−-source |
This option tells rpmfind to look for the source rpm, rather than the executable rpm. | ||
|
−-latest |
Tells rpmfind to try to fetch the latest available package. | ||
|
−s server |
The default server for rpmfind is http://rpmfind.net - you may wish to change that using this option. | ||
|
−-upgrade |
This option will suggest upgrades for the requested packages and all their dependencies. |
--apropos keyword
This option tells rpmfind to browse through the rpm database looking for all rpms that feature that keyword in their description tag. This is useful to find all rpms that are related to a particular subject.
The first time you will start rpmfind, it will create an ~/.rpmfind configuration file and a ~/.rpmfinddir database directory. It will then fetch all necessary information concerning the rpm database present on http://rpmfind.net (note that you need to be connected to the internet to do this!).
Bring back a list of rpm that feature the word ’rpm’ in their descrition tag:
rpmfind --apropos rpm
Suggest an upgrade for ghostview, along with all dependencies that need to be upgraded with it (if any):
rpmfind --upgrade ghostview
Fetch the latest source rpm for WindowMaker, without asking for any confirmation. Make The output of Rpmfind very verbose:
rpmfind -v -v --auto --latest --source WindowMaker
~/.rpmfinddir
Directory where the rpm metadata database is stored in compressed form.
~/.rpmfind
Rpmfind customization file.

rpm |
- rpmfind doesn’t seems
to work on rpm versions older than 2.4
- the ~/.rpmfind configuration file syntax needs to be
documented
