How to make rpm auto install dependencies

Question

I have built two RPM packages

• proj1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
• libtest1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

proj1 depends on

Answer 1

For me worked just with

# yum install ffmpeg-2.6.4-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm

And automatically asked authorization to dowload the depedencies. Below the example, i am using fedora 22

[root@localhost lukas]# yum install ffmpeg-2.6.4-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm
Yum command has been deprecated, redirecting to '/usr/bin/dnf install  ffmpeg-2.6.4-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm'.
See 'man dnf' and 'man yum2dnf' for more information.
To transfer transaction metadata from yum to DNF, run:
'dnf install python-dnf-plugins-extras-migrate && dnf-2 migrate'

Answer 3

Process of generating RPM from source file: 1) download source file with.gz extention. 2) install rpm-build and rpmdevtools from yum install. (rpmbuild folder will be generated...SPECS,SOURCES,RPMS.. folders will should be generated inside the rpmbuild folder). 3) copy the source code.gz to SOURCES folder.(rpmbuild/SOURCES) 4)Untar the tar ball by using the following command. go to SOURCES folder :rpmbuild/SOURCES where tar file is present. command: e.g tar -xvzf httpd-2.22.tar.gz httpd-2.22 folder will be generated in the same path. Check if apr and apr-util and there in httpd-2.22/srclib folder. If apr and apr-util doesnt exist download latest version from apache site ,untar it and put it inside httpd-2.22/srclib folder. Also make sure you have pcre install in your system .

5)go to extracted folder and then type below command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --with-included-apr --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-balancer --with-mpm=worker --enable-mods-static=all 6)run below command once the configure is successful: make 7)after successfull execution od make command run: checkinstall in tha same folder. (if you dont have checkinstall software please download latest version from site) Also checkinstall software has bug which can be solved by following way::::: locate checkinstallrc and then replace TRANSLATE = 1 to TRANSLATE=0 using vim command. Also check for exclude package: EXCLUDE="/selinux" 8)checkinstall will ask for option (type R if you want tp build rpm for source file) 9)Done .rpm file will be built in RPMS folder inside rpmbuild/RPMS file... ALL the BEST ....

Answer 4

Step1: copy all the rpm pkg in given locations

Step2: if createrepo is not already installed, as it will not be by default, install it.

[root@pavangildamysql1 8.0.11_rhel7]# yum install createrepo

Step3: create repository metedata and give below permission

[root@pavangildamysql1 8.0.11_rhel7]# chown -R root.root /scratch/PVN/8.0.11_rhel7
[root@pavangildamysql1 8.0.11_rhel7]# createrepo /scratch/PVN/8.0.11_rhel7

Step4: Create repository file with following contents at /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql.repo

[local]
name=My Awesome Repo
baseurl=file:///scratch/PVN/8.0.11_rhel7
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Step5 Run this command to install

[root@pavangildamysql1 local]# yum --nogpgcheck localinstall mysql-commercial-server-8.0.11-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm

Answer 5

The link @gertvdijk provided shows a quick way to achieve the desired results without configuring a local repository:

$ yum --nogpgcheck localinstall packagename.arch.rpm

Just change packagename.arch.rpm to the RPM filename you want to install.

Edit Just a clarification, this will automatically install all dependencies that are already available via system YUM repositories.

If you have dependencies satisfied by other RPMs that are not in the system's repositories, then this method will not work unless each RPM is also specified along with packagename.arch.rpm on the command line.
