Ok, I've started using RPMFind.... but I get a strange error, or
perhaps I'm just not doing it right.
I did the following command:
rpm -q -a | awk '{ printf("%s ",$1)}' | xargs rpmfind --upgrade -v
and I get a stream of error messages:
Get http://rpmfind.net/linux/RDF/resources/basesystem-6.0-4.rdf
Error fetching basesystem-6.0-4 metadata
Get http://rpmfind.net/linux/RDF/resources/basesystem-6.0.rdf
Error fetching basesystem-6.0 metadata
Get http://rpmfind.net/linux/RDF/resources/basesystem.rdf
Resource basesystem-6.0-4 : no need to upgrade
And then I get this (basically) for all or nearly all of the packages
I have installed. Ok, I know I'm asking for it to give me all the
packages I have: I want to know what has been updated out there. However,
it takes HOURS to run (and this is off of a FE channel that connects to
a T3... FE is the slowest link). I also didn't see any packages come down
for my perusal. I've RTFWPDocs, and it's clear as mud, if I'm not doing
what I think I'm doing... can somebody give me an idea what I'm
doing wrong? System is 6.1 (base) that upgraded an old 5.2 installation
with SOME upgrades, RPMFind is the latest version.
Thanks!
