RPM Package Manager - Local Operations

Local Operations

Packages may come from within a particular distribution (for example Red Hat Linux) or be built for it by other parties (for example RPM Fusion for Fedora). Circular dependencies among mutually dependent RPMs (so-called "dependency hell") can be problematic; in such cases a single installation command needs to specify all the relevant packages.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or operations:

    “Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
    Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
    The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
    Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
    Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
    Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
    Back now, all of them, to their local lives....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
    —Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
