hmm.. there appears to be some kind of mis-understanding regarding my question.. if i have 50 systems.. i'm trying to figure out how to automate the process of installing the rpms across the 50 systems, so i don't have to do it manually. i was also saying that the install process might also involve creating of users/modifying config files... if you're implying that i could 'modify' the rpm file, so that the invoking of the rpm would perform these functions, then ok.. maybe. i'm trying to find out if there's an automated/scripting method for this kind of purpose. has anyone actually done this kind of automated action, and if you have, cna you tell me how you did it... thanks -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Todd Zullinger Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 8:34 AM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: automated installation of rpm/app on a number of client machines -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Brian Chadwick wrote: > yes there is ... its called ... http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/ More up to date information is included in the draft RPM Guide: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ You'll also find useful information about creating packages in the Fedora Packaging Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines Specific info about creating users using fedora-usermgmt: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserCreation To be clear on your original questions Bruce, all the things you asked about should be done in the rpm packaging. Then all that's required to make it work on different systems is to install it via rpm or yum. - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Thank God I'm an atheist. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iQFDBAEBAgAtBQJE5d3+JhhodHRwOi8vd3d3LnBvYm94LmNvbS9+dG16L3BncC90 bXouYXNjAAoJEEMlk4u+rwzj4lAIAIFlNlG8xOd3k4xrRTsW6th6g9nlmGJDirmA a3zn6cvzLd32FJZx+THt2AVzzWVy12LB0m/8WYtWC2Emo5DnbKgihxdP4iTvQnbW FFpmM2Ldm/Ccn6pAwCagwY7tY4KCKbGYvAKefyhjcoD7IDKNpXATbKjYiZcCAmt3 7wR3Mf3S1bHbsBhO0IgB9hmaqGHMo1l44gMwz6+YIUB8ndbbrZOtKJ1PQMUsj4WE 4iBS9YB8iOn5qBi4mvunpTxjvtzOUYPT3gfkKesUTcmTKUgo/Bn5yMzQCZO/h+Bo +DgDBl/btMdfUZzN6jZLOiIfsZlKw6twXTmuLzm9P+bNlkM9ZKc= =rFl/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
