In fact, it only authorizes -well-known rpms to be installed. If you want to install local rpm file, you -will have to be root. - -You can compare rpm vs. urpmi with insmod vs. modprobe or dpkg vs apt-get -.PP -All users belonging to group urpmi are allowed to install packages. -.br -Just launch urpmi followed by what you think is the name of the package(s), -and urpmi will: -.br -\- Propose different package names if availables and quit. -.br -\- If only one corresponding package is found, check whether dependencies are -already installed, or not. -.br -\- If not, propose to install the dependencies and then install all required -dependencies and the package. -.PP -Note that urpmi handle installations from various medias (ftp, http, local and -nfs volumes, removable medias such as CDROMs) and is able to install -dependencies from a media different from the package's media. -If necessary, urpmi asks you to insert the required media. -.PP -To add a new media containing rpms run urpmi.addmedia. -.br -To remove a media use urpmi.removemedia. -.br -To update the packages list (for example when the ftp archive changed) use -urpmi.update. -.br -To automatically install a package corresponding to an executable you tried -to launch, use autoirpm. -.br -To install all available menu entries of all known packages, -use autoirpm-icons. -.SH OPTIONS -.IP "\fB\--help\fP" -print an help message and exit. -.IP "\fB\--update\fP" -use only update media. This means \fBurpmi\fP will search and resolve -dependencies only in media marked as update. -.IP "\fB\--auto\fP" -installs all required dependencies without asking. -.IP "\fB\--auto-select\fP" -automatically select all packages that have to be upgraded according to already -installed packages and packages listed in various media registered. -.IP "\fB\--force\fP" -assumes yes on all questions. -.IP "\fB\--X\fP" -use X interface. -.IP "\fB\--best-output\fP" -try to use X interface or if not available the standard text interface (using -rpm). -.IP "\fB\-a\fP" -if multiple packages match the substring given, take them all -.IP "\fB\-m\fP" -choose minimun closure of requires (this is the default). This is a relatively -slow algorithm that tries to minimize the number of package to upgrade -to only what is really necessary. -.IP "\fB\-M\fP" -choose maximal closure of requires. This is the fastest algorithms that try to -upgrade all requires if they can be upgraded. -.IP "\fB\-c\fP" -if maximal closure is used, assume that a package listed mey have wrong or not -up-to-date dependancies. This cause more package to be upgraded and may correct -unresolved dependancies on the rpm database. -.IP "\fB\-p\fP" -allow search in provides to find package. -.IP "\fB\-q\fP" -proposes a quiet mode when calling rpm where no upgrade status are printed. -.IP "\fB\-v\fP" -proposes a verbose mode with various messages. -.SH FILES -/usr/bin/urpmi -.br -The \fBurpmi\fP executable (perl script) -.PP -/var/lib/urpmi/list.* -.br -Contains the list of all packages known by urpmi and their location. -There is one filelist per media(*). -.PP -/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.* -.br -Contain information about all known packages, it's a summary of rpm headers. -There is one hdlist per media(*). -.PP -/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.* -.br -Contain synthesis information about all known packages built from hdlist files -that can be used by minimal closure algorithm.
