Downloading RPM Packages Using a LinuxLink Classic Repository Web Page
LinuxLink Classic provides the package sources for your target in the RPM format. The subscription will also include a toolchain for the architecture of your choice, and you can use that toolchain to create your own RFS.
If you are using LinuxLink, you can download the packages from your LinuxLink Repository, as follows:
- Select the Repository button and click on the Packages tab.
- Click RPM Packages for <xyz> Architecture
(where <xyz> is the specific architecture for your target) to browse
the packages that are available for downloading.
Note
This rest of this example shows how to download packages for your target, but you can use the same basic instructions to download packages for your host from the host/ directory.
- Click target/.
- Click RPMS-glibc/.
- If you only want one package, simply click download to the
right of that individual RPM.
- If you want to download multiple packages, but don’t care about any
dependencies on those packages, click the individual checkboxes to the left of
each of the packages that you want, and then click the Download Selected Files button.
- If you want to download multiple packages, but want to see which packages are
dependent on those packages, click the individual checkboxes to the left of each
of the packages that you want, and then click the
Download Selected Files & Dependencies button. You will then
be able to select the dependent packages for download as well. You can either
select them individually by clicking the appropriate checkboxes, or select all of
them by clicking the Select All checkbox. Then click the
Download Selected Files button.
- If you want to download all of the packages, click the Select All
checkbox. Then click the Download Selected Files button.
- If you only want one package, simply click download to the
right of that individual RPM.
