Of course that also assumes that all executables are accounted for in the rpm database.
They are. All files, executables or not. Have a look at man rpm, "verify-options".
Oh, cool, so if I install wings3d by downloading the .run.gz, gunzip it and run it, rpm knows about it? (I'm being sarcastic here - I know that it doesn't).
Obviously not! Where did you see I said that? We where taling about the rpm database, which obviously only includes files installed from an rpm.
I was talking about checksumming any executable, sorry if I wasn't clear on that. But the quoted section above does document the discussion - I said "All executables" and you said "they are". I didn't qualify my statement as "all executables installed using RPM technologies", I said "all executables". :-) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
