Pkgmgr

pkgmgr_gen.py

Program to generate a bcfg2 Pkgmgr configuration file from a list of directories that contain RPMS. All versions or only the latest may be included in the output. rpm.labelCompare is used to compare the package versions, so that a proper rpm version comparison is done (epoch:version-release). The output file may be formated for use with the RPM or Yum Bcfg2 client drivers. The output can also contain the PackageList and nested group headers.

pkgmgr_update.py

Program to update an existing Bcfg2 Pkgmgr configuration file from a list of directories that contain RPMS. Only the epoch, version, release and simplefiles attributes are updated in existing entries. All other entries and attributes are preserved.

This is a total hack until a proper more generalized system for managing Pkgmgr configuration files is developed.
