FreeBSD 2.x and 3.x
>Description:
Red Hat Package Manager (rpm) port execute 'cpio' with
"--quiet" flag which is unsupported in FreeBSD's cpio (version 2.3).
>How-To-Repeat:
Make and install rpm port and try to use it as
rpm -i something.rpm
>Fix:
Unknown by me at the moment ;-(
There may be three possible solutions:
- patch 'rpm' to not use '--quiet'
- patch FreeBSD's 'cpio' to understand '--quiet' flag
(this I can afford if acceptable)
- upgrade cpio to version 2.4.2 (current GNU version ?)
(this is non trivial because of some number of
FreeBSD patches to version 2.3)
And may be easiest way - ask MAINTAINER how he solved this
problem ?
