3.1.9.22 Installing and Uninstalling RPM packages

Red Hat Linux Distributions use a very powerful package manager called rpm. It is used whenever you need to install/remove/upgrade/etc a software package. The packages used by rpm use the extension ‘.rpm’. gitfm provides default key bindings for some of the basic operations rpm can perform on packages: install, uninstall, upgrade and query.

^C I

 
Install the rpm package pointed by the cursor
(‘RPM-INSTALL’).

^C b I

 
Install the rpm package pointed by the cursor
(‘B-RPM-INSTALL’).  The operation is performed in background.

^C i

 
Uninstall the rpm package pointed by the cursor
(‘RPM-UNINSTALL’).

^C b i

 
Uninstall the rpm package pointed by the cursor
(‘B-RPM-UNINSTALL’).  The operation is performed in background.

^C N

 
Upgrade the rpm package pointed by the cursor
(‘RPM-UPGRADE’).

^C b N

 
Upgrade the rpm package pointed by the cursor
(‘B-RPM-UPGRADE’).  The operation is performed in background.

^C q

 
Query the rpm package manager (‘RPM-QUERY’).  The default
options used are ‘-qil’.  See the rpm manual page for
more details on using rpm.
