[Fedora-livecd-list] Updating the rpms in a local repo

[Glen Eustace]

I found the following script which I have been using.  It isn't perfect
but doesn't do too bad a job.

-----------------------------------------------

#! /bin/bash
# This script updates rpms in a RedHat distribution found in $RPMDIR.
# The old rpms will be placed in $OLDDIR.
# The new rpms should be located in $UPDDIR.
# The new images are in $IMGDIR
# The images to be updated are in $OMGDIR
# The architechture is $ARCH.

FCVERSION=4
ARCH=i386

FCROOT=/usr/local/archive/fedora-livecd-repo
RPMDIR=${FCROOT}/Fedora/RPMS
UPDDIR=/usr/local/archive/mirror/fedora/updates/${FCVERSION}/${ARCH}
OLDDIR=${FCROOT}/old

if [ ! -d $OLDDIR ] ; then
   echo making directory $OLDDIR
   mkdir $OLDDIR
fi

allow_null_glob_expansion=1

for rpm in ${UPDDIR}/*.rpm ; do
  NAME=`rpm --queryformat "%{NAME}" -qp $rpm`
  unset OLDNAME
  for oldrpm in ${RPMDIR}/${NAME}*.rpm ; do
    if [ `rpm --queryformat "%{NAME}" -qp $oldrpm` = "$NAME" ]; then
      OLDNAME=$oldrpm;
      break
    fi
  done
  if [ -z "$OLDNAME" ]; then
    echo $NAME is new
    cp -pv $rpm $RPMDIR
  else
    if [ `basename $rpm` != `basename $OLDNAME` ]; then
      mv $OLDNAME $OLDDIR
      cp -pv $rpm $RPMDIR
    fi
  fi
done
