AnacondaUpdateRpms

rpmupdates

The rpmupdates script is a small bash program that updates the RPMs in you tree. Put your updated RPMs in new/new/. This script will compare them to the RPMs in i386/Fedora/RPMS/. If the RPMs in new/new/ are newer, this script will move the old RPMs to olddir/, and copy the new RPMs to i386/Fedora/RPMS/ and new/done. If they are not newer, it will move them to new/ and give a warning message. I have seen several perl programs that do the same thing, but I would really like to see a python program that could be included with anaconda.

Move the rpmupdates script to /fedora (or /dvd), and run it from that directory.
