Build a special RPM

Build a special RPM

[Mário Gamito]

Hi,

I want to build a single RPM that has more than one software in it and a 
different name from them.

Let's imagine for the sake of example that i want to make an RPM called 
databases.rpm that installs both MySQL and Postgres.

How can i do this with a single spec file ?

I've googled for an hour or two and found no info about this issue.

Can someone enlighten me, please ?

WarmRegards,
Mário Gamito

... ciao:

    personally, i tend to avoid rpm, but man says:

    rpm - "basic mode selected ... Build Package from Tarball"

    tar - "to tar are the names of the files or directories" ...


-- 
... i'm a man, but i can change,
    if i have to , i guess ...

If all you want to do is require two packages, and you have a good
RPM-based package dependency system, just put both packages in
Requires: and build an empty RPM. (I do this all the time).

If you want something more complicated, go read the book at
www.rpm.org, download the SRPMs for one or both packages, and start
merging them.
