Relevant directories and files
Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS
- yum config:
/etc/yum.conf. - yum repos:
/etc/yum.repos.d/. - rpm configs and macros:
/etc/rpm/,/usr/lib/rpm/, - rpm DB:
/var/lib/rpm/
Debian/Ubuntu
- List of repositories and mirror sites:
/etc/apt/sources.list,/etc/apt/sources.list.d/.
Gentoo
- emerge configs:
/etc/make.conf,/etc/portage/. - Portage tree:
/usr/portage.
Notes
- ↑ In case there are unsatisfied dependencies for package_file, yum will try to get and install it from known repositores.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Usually it is not necessary to download packages manually and install them. Use apt-cache search name to search for package in configured repositories and apt-get install package to install package and all it's dependencies
- ↑ This will also remove any packages which depend on the package
- ↑ Package will reside in /var/cache/apt/archives.
- ↑ Package sources will reside in /usr/portage/distfiles.
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 In rpm world, a dependency can be a package name, a file, or a special atom like
perl(IO::Zlib)for a perl module. In deb world, this can be either real or virtual package name. - ↑ Actualy shows the whole dpendency situation that leads to install this package
