Add rpms without repository

[Kalman Kemenczy]

Hi All,

Maybe I missed something, but I am not sure, how can I add "3rd party" rpms. e.g GroupWise client, iprint client, novell client etc.

Any hint?

many thanks

AFAIK this feature hasn't been implemented yet.

What I have done in the past is upload the required RPM using the
"Overlay Files" tab and place them in a directory (I used /root/bin).  I
then uploaded a modified /etc/init.d/boot.local which contained:

rpm -q $PACKAGE || rpm -ivh /root/bin/$PACKAGE.rpm

Thanks to Nat for that tip, it may not be the most elegant workaround
but at least it works :)

Regards,

Andy

yeah ... rpm upload support is not there yet, that's right. It's a planned feature but not one happening too soon I am afraid.
