These are some quick and dirty tools used for layering stuff on top of a Red Hat / RPM-based distro. They were developed mainly for the XFS-enabled RH7.x install CDs.
repobuild
is a perl script that given an SRPM directory and an RPM
directory will identify missing packages. It's
using srpm2bin to extract the package list from
the SRPMS. repobuild outputs a list of SRPMs
that need to be built to make the binary RPM dir match the
SRPM ditto.
splice is
a perl script that allows you to layer and merge RPM
repositories. It can be used to overlay specific packages
(for instance XFS-aware kernels) as well as adding/removing
packages to/from the pool. splice outputs the
merged list of packages.
srpm2bin
is a perl script that given an SRPM will output the list of
binary RPMs compiling the package would produce. For
instance:
# srpm2bin foo-1.0-1.src.rpm
foo-1.0-1.i386.rpm
foo-devel-1.0-1.i386.rpm
foo-docs-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
