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

1. Add RPMs to the BLPackage, as described in Importing assets into a BLPackage.
2. 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.
3. 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.
