Emerge
root #emerge --ask app-arch/rpmRPMs - faking them
Handy for persuading an installer that something is actually installed. The following recipe creates an RPM that does nothing but fake an RPM installation. Usually something like this will work to install an RPM:
root #rpm -Uvh --nodeps <example.rpm>If an application has an installer that calls RPM directly to see whether something is installed, this might help get over that hurdle.
Note
Make sure the corresponding ebuild is installed from Portage!
Make sure the corresponding ebuild is installed from Portage!
- Create a .spec file in /usr/src/rpm/SPECS/. Then "build" the rpm
root #rpmbuild -ba <specfile>- Watch the output from the above to see where the .rpm is created and then install it
root #rpm -Uvh <rpm>Sample .spec file
Create a .spec file using the following example for gettext as a template. Set the name and version strings accordingly.
