Creating an RPM group
Using the BLPackage editor, you can create a group of RPMs that are installed using a single command. This capability is necessary when deploying a BLPackage containing multiple RPMs that are dependent on each other. A BLPackage can install the contents of an RPM group using one command that analyzes dependencies between RPMs and establishes an order for their installation.
To create an RPM group
- Add RPMs to the BLPackage, as described in Importing-assets-into-a-BLPackage.
- In the hierarchy view, select the RPMs you want to include in a single group (that is, they should all be installed or uninstalled together), right-click, and select Create RPM Group from the pop-up menu.
The BLPackage editor displays a new item called New RPM Group. The system automatically generates an install and an uninstall command that apply to all the RPMs included in the RPM group. - If necessary, modify the install and uninstall commands (that is, the Cmd and UndoCmd properties). You can also modify the name of the RPM group.
