Yes basically. I combined this with repomanage.py from Seth Vidal to complete the tedious task of weeding out older packages, however I am having problems, namely my newly build distro does not install. The install bombs out at the package installation phase complaining that some of the packages do not have order tags. Anyone got any insight? pkgorder does produce a number of warnings e.g.: <blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">warning: LOOP: warning: udev-039-10.FC3.7 PreReq: lvm2 warning: removing lvm2-2.00.25-1.01 "Requires: kernel >= 2.6" from tsort relations. warning: lvm2-2.00.25-1.01 Requires: kernel >= 2.6 warning: kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 PreReq: kernel-utils warning: removing kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.49_FC3 "Requires: kudzu" from tsort relations. warning: kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.49_FC3 Requires: kudzu warning: removing kudzu-1.1.95-1 "Requires: hal >= 0.2.96" from tsort relations.warning: kudzu-1.1.95-1 Requires: hal >= 0.2.96 warning: removing hal-0.4.7-1.FC3 "Requires: udev >= 034-2" from tsort relations. warning: hal-0.4.7-1.FC3 Requires: udev >= 034-2 </blockquote> curious because these packages all seem to be available: <blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">-rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 158253 May 24 12:46 hal-0.4.7-1.FC3.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 39337 Oct 22 2004 hal-cups-utils-0.5.2-8.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 96090 May 24 12:46 hal-devel-0.4.7-1.FC3.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 79577 May 24 12:46 hal-gnome-0.4.7-1.FC3.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 18442991 May 24 12:47 kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.i586.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 18348153 May 24 12:47 kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 2203548 May 24 12:47 kernel-doc-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.noarch.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 17722035 May 24 12:47 kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.i586.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 17721244 May 24 12:47 kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 553972 May 24 12:47 kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.49_FC3.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 772098 Oct 27 2004 lvm2-2.00.25-1.01.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ajn facstaff 636291 May 24 12:48 udev-039-10.FC3.7.i386.rpm </blockquote> On 5/23/05, Paul Howarth <<a href="mailto:paul@city-fan.org">paul@city-fan.org</a>> wrote: > On Mon, 2005-05-23 at 17:03 -0400, Alastair Neil wrote: > > I just did an "install everything" installation of FC 3.
