Hello SuSE folk,
Correct me, before I do it, if I'm wrong.
After building a rpm or doing a rebuild of an src.rpm the files in /usr/src/ are useless correct? The builds, specs, etc.?
Got a lot of stuff in those files which seem to be all intermingled from previous operations and is getting confusing. Can I just go in and clean them all out??
If you say yes, I may have another question in a day or so.
If you're talking about the /usr/src/RPMS etc. directories, then the way I
do it is, when I download the latest src.rpm's of the same files in those
dir's, I rebuild all the new src.rpm's, let them get put in the same
directories, then I cd to that directory and look through them all to make
sure htere's two of everything (one being the older rpm of course), then once
I'm sure I have everything, I just rm all the old ones at one time, then I
start installing the new ones with rpm -Uvh
