Any1 know a website for checking dependency

[jwroysdon]

So, I usually work in an offline environment. Meaning the system does not have internet access. I usually download the CentOS-7 Everything DVD and copy it to the hard drive and set up the yum.repo.d files.

However, I often run into programs I need to install that require dependencies not present on the DVD. Such as the epel repository.

Does anyone know of a web site which would allow someone to check what rpm's are needed for a package based on a set baseline. For example, I want to install wine-1.7.22 on my newly installed CentOS 7 system. I have the everything DVD. I would like to know ALL the packages I need (which are not on the everything DVD).

I currently have to download the program, burn it to a DVD/CD and then try to install it with yum only to find out that I need a few other packages. So, I go and download those packages and then install them, but WAIT, those packages require other packages. So, I have to go back and download those and burn them to a DVD. And so the process goes... 5 or 6 DVD/CD's later I finally get the program installed.

Is there a way to see ALL the dependencies required based on a known starting point? Like my example above. I want to install wine-1.7.22, and I have the "Everything" DVD. Which ironically does not have everything...

I thought of one way, I could use the --downloadonly option on another system, but unfortunately, I can't do that at work. I would have to go home and use my personal computer.

It would be swell if someone created a website that could look up the entire dependency tree for a program. It could have drop down menus that allow you to select which OS you installed and what option you picked (Desktop, minimal, etc). And they you paste a link to the rpm you want to install, and the site would track down the dependencies and provide a list with links where to download them. (even better, it could create a rpm with all the dependencies inside it and let you download it).

I'm pretty sure this idea is genius... so if anyone wants to take it and create a web site based on this idea you have my permission. Just please give me credit for the idea, and make sure the wine---CentOS7 dependency tree is the first one you get working... haha.

So, since you have internet access at least at some point to download the additional packages that you're looking for, I think this will help solve your problem:

deplist
Produces a list of all dependencies and what packages provide those dependencies for the given packages.
From http://linux.die.net/man/8/yum

For example:

Code: Select all

The "provider:" lines show you each package that you'll need to install to make the program for which you searched actually work. So, in my case, I can run mariadb-server on my Fedora desktop by installing everything listed as a provider above.

Hi,

I've created a small script (attached as a txt file) that might help.

This script will create a directory in /tmp/ that contains all the files from a CentOS mirror,
that is required to install a package.

Hope it helps.
