Introducción a rpmdrake
This tool
Puede iniciar esta herramienta como superusuario desde la línea de comando,
escribiendo rpmdrake.
, also known as drakrpm, is a
program for installing, uninstalling and updating packages. It is the
graphical user interface of URPMI. At each start up, it will check online
package lists (called 'media') downloaded straight from Mageia's official
servers, and will show you each time the latest applications and packages
available for your computer. A filter system allows you to display only
certain types of packages: you may display only installed applications (by
default), or only available updates. You can also view only not installed
packages. You can also search by the name of a package, or in the summaries
of descriptions or in the full descriptions of packages or in the file names
included in the packages.
To work, rpmdrake needs the repositories to be configured with .
During the installation, the configured repository is the medium used for
the installation, generally the DVD or CD. If you keep this medium, rpmdrake
will ask it each time you want to install a package, with this pop-up window
:
If the above message annoys you
and you have a good internet connection without too strict download limit,
it is wise to remove that medium and replace it by online repositories
thanks to .
Moreover, the online repositories are always up to date, contains much more
packages, and allow to update your installed packages.
Las partes principales de la pantalla
Filtro de tipo de paquete:
This filter allows you to display only certain types of packages. The first
time you start the manager, it only displays applications with a graphical
interface. You can display either all the packages and all their
dependencies and libraries or only package groups such as applications only,
updates only or backported packages from newer versions of Mageia.
The default filter setting is for new entrants to Linux or Mageia, who
probably do not want command line or specialist tools. Since you're reading
this documentation, you're obviously interested in improving your knowledge
of Mageia, so it is best to set this filter to "All".
Package state filter:
This filter allows you to view only the installed packages, only the
packages that are not installed or all of the packages, both installed and
not installed.
Modo de búsqueda:
Click on this icon to search through the package names, through their
summaries, through their complete description or through the files included
in the packages.
cuadro "Buscar":
Enter here one or more key words. If you want to use more than one keyword
for searching use '|' between keywords, e.g. To search for "mplayer" and
"xine" at the same time type 'mplayer | xine'.
Borrar todo:
This icon can erase in one click all the key words entered in the "Find" box
.
Lista de categorias:
This side bar groups all applications and packages into clear categories and
sub categories.
Descripción del panel:
This panel displays the package's name, its summary and complete
description. It displays many useful elements about the selected package. It
can also show precise details about the package, the files included in the
package as well as a list of the last changes made by the maintainer.
Columna de estado
Once you correctly set the filters, you can find your software either by
category (in area 6 above) or by name/summary/description using area 4. A
list of packages fulfilling your query and, don't forget, the chosen medium
is shown with different status markers according to whether each package is
installed/not installed/an update... To change this status, just check or
uncheck the box before the package name and click on
Apply.

Ejemplos en la captura de pantalla anterior:
If I uncheck digikam (the green arrow tell us it is installed), the status
icon will go red with an up arrow and it will be uninstalled when clicking
on Apply.
Si selecciono qdigidoc (que no está instalado, vea el estado), el icono de
estado color naranja con una flecha hacia abajo aparecerá y será instalado
al hacer clic en Aplicar .
Las dependencias
Some packages need other packages called dependencies in order to work. They
are for example libraries or tools. In this case, Rpmdrake displays an
information window allowing you to choose whether to accept the selected
dependencies, cancel the operation or get more information (see above). It
may also happen that various packages are able to provide the needed
library, in which case rpmdrake displays the list of alternatives with a
button to get more information and another button to choose which package to
install.
