I just installed Mandrake 9.2 via FTP onto one of our servers to test out. We are looking for a replacement OS for our servers. One thing I wanted to learn is some of the Mandrake specific tools, specifically urpmi and msec.
I was working with urpmi trying to learn its functions and have a couple of questions.
Is there a way to list the packages that are available to download?
For instance, I was playing around and typed:
urpmi samba
It gave me a list of dependencies, which is nice, but then said it was going to install samba 2.2.8a. Is there a way to grab the 3.0 version?
I'd like a way to see what I have available, through the command line.
Secondly, is there a way with urpmi to see what versions of the software I have? I know I can with rpm -qa |grep <package>. Can you do this with urpmi?
That should be about it for now...
Learning the ropes here.
