I have a set of scripts that work for me. I started with the scripts from the CD-HOWTO (I think), and hacked and slashed to fit my directory layout. My versions could certainly be cleaned up, and may in fact be broken. I have no illusions about my skill (actually, my lack of any) in writing clean scripts. But I use these as is. You are welcome to try them and see if they help. After setting up the staging area for the CD structure and burning a few frisbees ( I left out the .disc1-i386 and .disc2-i386 files) I worked out the kinks and have had good success with the attached scripts. I run the updateRPMS.sh, which tries to replace existing .rpm files with the updates. I added a loop to the script that makes an effort to locate a pre-existing .rpm on multiple discs to update. On occasion I have to correct the behavior of this script manually. For example: multiple .rpms exist for a package, say foo-1.2.3-9.i386.rpm and foo-1.2.3-12.i386.rpm. This script will first update to foo-1.2.3-12 and then down-grade(?) to foo-1.2.3-9.i386.rpm. I have the script updating only from the i386 and noarch directories. I usually update the i686 .rpms by hand. The number of i686 files is so low this is not a problem for me. Perhaps one of these days ... Then I run updateperms.sh, updateHDList.sh and mkiso.sh script, which builds an updated .iso from the now-updated file collections. I then use the burncd.sh script to start the burn. And don't laugh too hard at the code ;-) Hope this helps, Lamar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael St. Laurent" <mikes hartwellcorp com> To: "Red Hat Enigma Mailing List" <enigma-list redhat com> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 8:48 PM Subject: Anybody have a decent 7.2 iso image update script? > Has anyone written a script to mount the iso images for the 7.2 disks and > perform the steps to update the RPMS with the latest errata?
