Erik,
but these scripts do not work for SuSE-8.1. Anas, does SuSE-8.1 have any possibility for an easy Server-Upgrade included? Thanks, Erik.
I am missing such a feature, too (perhaps there is already such a feature from which I have not a clue). Therefore I have written 2 scripts that keep the rpms of the autoinstallation server up-to-date. You might want to have a look at http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/~stoltze/projekte/autoinstall/suse81/index.ht...
But if there will be a solution from SuSE I will be happy not to port these scripts to the next SuSE release.
Hi Christian! In gen_latest_patches_81 you have the following lines: ALL_RPMS="`find * -name '*.rpm' -type f | sort`" # durch sort werden z.B. i586/yast2-core-2.6.47-9.i586.rpm und # i586/yast2-core-2.6.53-8.i586.rpm # schon richtig sortiert (das aeltere File zuerst) Then the package "foo-10.bla.bla.bla.rpm" will be sorted before the package "foo-9.bla.bla.bla.rpm" which is probably not what you intend. I'm working on a script that does more or less the same as your script, and in it I have NEWEST=`ls -rt $FILES | tail -1` where $FILES contains a list of all "candidates" for a given package. In my situation, care must be taken so that the dates of the files are not changed. When my script works, I'll make it publicly available. Best regards, Rasmus -- Rasmus Borup Hansen, system adm.
