An RPM package is a package that has a filename that ends with .rpm. Qtopia RPM packages contain documentation, pre-built binaries, and source files where appropriate. RPM packages are specifically built for a particular Linux distribution, but will install and run on other compatible distributions in most circumstances. The distribution (and version) for the package is reflected in the package file name, for example, -suse82 or -redhat9. RPM packages are installed using the rpm (Redhat Package Manager) installation tool that is available with most Linux distributions.
The file name for RPM packages can have one of the following file extensions:
Please select the file name extension that best describes your specific host system.
To install a RPM package follow these steps:
su root
tar -ivh <package>where package is the full path and filename of the downloaded package.
Note: Old versions of Qtopia must be removed before installation of the new version.
To check if an older version is installed:
su root
rpm -qa | grep qtopia
qtopia-developer-2.1.2 qtopia-tools-1.0.0 qtopia-desktop-2.1.2
Note:
To remove an RPM package please take the following steps:
su root
rpm -e <packagename>where packagename is the name of the package as listed by the command:
rpm -qa
