How To Install All Available Packages

XMasterrrr · #1 12th June 2012, 09:59 PM

Hello, I've been using Fedora for a year or more, it has been great, but every time i spend about 3-5 days to install almost all packages, as i like to have every package installed (So i don't have to worry if the internet connection get disabled)

i want a command that install every available package (but also distinguish if the program or package are installed in other prefix like noarch or x86 packages)

Thanks in advance

You can't install all available packages, as some of them conflict with each other. If you really need off-line access to all of them, you're probably best off mirroring the repos so that you have off-line copies of all the package files that can still be installed when needed. I doubt very much you need anything like that many packages really though, and what with updates etc., unless you have a lot of bandwidth it's going to be a near-constant stream of data to stay up-to-date...

Isn't there a command that skip conflicts? --skip-broken as i remember?

I agree with Gareth, The rpms will use less disc space in a repo then they would if installed.

Broken packages/dependencies are totally different from conflicting packages. Gareth is right, mirroring the repos is a standard way of achieving your goal of not being dependent on internet access (though it has other potentially more significant benefits too).

As far as I can see doing this with reposync is documented here.

Code:

sudo yum -y install '*' --skip-broken

although,

Code:

sudo yum -y groupinstall '*' --skip-broken

should be more than enough to do almost anything imaginable

when using

Code:

sudo yum -y install '*' --skip-broken

and after downloading 30 GB of packages i got this error:

Code:

ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:
syslinux-devel < 4.05-1.fc17 is obsoleted by (installed) syslinux-4.05-1.fc17.x86_64
Please report this error in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=yum
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Your transaction was saved, rerun it with:
 yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx.2012-06-28.20-46.VxoHXn.yumtx

is there a command to skip the packages which give this error?
