 |
|
How do you check for a specific rpm if it is installed? You can do it this way:
rpm -q <package name>
This way you need to enter full name
So you can do this:
rpm -qa|grep -i <part of package name>
But it's slow
Then why don't you make scripts to save rpm list. This will speed up the query:
1. Script for saving rpm list for faster reference (name it rpmlist):
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
rpm -qa >~/rpmlist |
2. Script for searching in rpmlist(name it rpmfind):
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
grep -i $1 ~/rpmlist |
|
