Say I have an RHEL 3 machine that I installed and I didn't check the box
for, say, printing support. Now I decide I want printing support. Is there
an easy way with up2date to get all of the mandatory and default packages
for the printing support group? I used an egrep statement to get the
following out of comps.xml:
<id>printing</id>
<name>Printing Support</name>
<packagelist>
<packagereq type="mandatory">4Suite</packagereq>
<packagereq type="mandatory">XFree86-font-utils</packagereq>
<packagereq type="mandatory">a2ps</packagereq>
<packagereq type="default">cups</packagereq>
<packagereq type="default">enscript</packagereq>
<packagereq type="mandatory">ghostscript</packagereq>
<packagereq type="optional">gimp-print-cups</packagereq>
<packagereq type="default">hpijs</packagereq>
<packagereq type="default">hpoj</packagereq>
<packagereq type="mandatory">ttfprint</packagereq>
<packagereq type="mandatory">redhat-config-printer</packagereq>
I suppose that I could throw a little more of my sad script-fu at it to get
the defaults and mandatories and write a long up2date command. But I am
curious as to whether you can do something like up2date "@(protected)" or
somesuch magic.
Thanks!
Thomas
