  24. Q: How is package management working in ROCK Linux
  26. ROCK Linux has two binary package formats: *.gem files and plain *.tar.bz2
  27. files. The GEM package format is just an envelope for *.tar.bz2 packages.
  29. The program 'mine' is used to install, update and remove packages from the
  30. system. More information about 'mine' can be found at /usr/share/doc/mine.
  32. Some examples for using mine:
  34. mine -i xine.gem .............. install or update the 'xine' package
  35. mine -r xine .................. remove the 'xine' package
  37. mine -l xine.gem m4 ........... print file list for xine.gem and for
  38. the already installed m4 package
  40. mine -q ....................... list all installed packages
  42. The shell script 'tarbz2gem' can be used for creating a gem package from a
  43. tar.bz2 file. Extracting the tar.bz2 file from the gem package is possible
  44. with 'mine' itself. Examples:
  46. tarbz2gem xine.tar.bz2 xine.gem
  48. mine -k package_tarbz2 xine.gem > xine.tar.bz2
  50. The package metadata is stored in the /var/adm tree using plain ascii files.
  52. You should always run the script 'cron.run' after installing, updating or
  53. removing packages. This updates some important system files.
