RPM: Switching from i686 to Pentium4
« on: February 25, 2022, 08:44:41 pm »
Hi

I refreshed my VM and I don't remember what I did last time to change everything to .pentium4.

Is there some trick or command to make RPM reinstall everything that I have oon i686 to pentium4 if it exists?

Currently I'm changing everything to .pentium4 one by one with ANPM.

The error says:
Code: [Select]

I run this script to build a list of installed programs and it builds a cmd script to reinstall them.
It would probably be better to set it all in one install as some of the installs will have the others as dependencies and therefore will already be installed before the script hits that install but it then just says it is already installed at the latest version.
I then rename /usr and /etc and run the yum bootstrap (p4) and run the script created above.
It takes one argument, the name you want to call the script.
Code: [Select]
/* REXX to get just package names from RPM installed output */

rc = SysLoadFuncs()
Parse Arg fileout

rc = SysFileDelete(fileout)
fileinv = holdrpm.txt

address cmd 'yum list |grep install >'fileinv
do while Lines(fileinv)
  text = LineIn(fileinv)
  parse var text package'.'.
  rc = Lineout(fileout,'yum install -y 'package)
end
rc = SysFileDelete(fileinv)

I have not used the output but this makes one install line:
Code: [Select]
/* REXX to get just package names from RPM installed output */

rc = SysLoadFuncs()
Parse Arg fileout

rc = SysFileDelete(fileout)
fileinv = holdrpm.txt

address cmd 'yum list |grep install >'fileinv
list = ''
do while Lines(fileinv)
  text = LineIn(fileinv)
  parse var text package'.'.
  list = list || ' ' || package
end
rc = Lineout(fileout,'yum install -y 'list)
rc = SysFileDelete(fileinv)

Thanks Andy

I run the scripts, I have list of installed software and the "yum install -y  arch ..." command it produce to reinstall all things. Nice scripts.

But I got stock here:

I then rename /usr and /etc and run the yum bootstrap (p4) and run the script created above.

What is your method to rename /usr and /etc since it is locked?

I haven't run yum bootstrap in ages, how do you use that? do you download the "rpm-yum-bootstrap-1_5-p4.wpi" file from Netlabs and run that one?

Hi Martin, unlock \usr\lib\dll and maybe kill the odd program like the cups demon.

Thanks Dave. The unlock and killing CUPS process worked to rename /usr and /etc.

But now I have the issue that "rpm-yum-bootstrap-1_5-p4.wpi" demands for the Warpin Libc 0.6 runtime to be installed.

Hi

I went the other way and installed RPM with ANPM. So I reinstalled ANPM and it installed
http://repos.arcanoae.com/anpm/pentium4/rpm-yum-base-os2-pentium4-2021-10-23.exe

ANPM asked me if I wanted pentium4 or i686, so I got pentium4.

YUM and RPM seems to be working back and seems to be in "pentium4" mode now. Now I will install all the packages.

Regards

Glad you got it working. It does raise the question whether "rpm-yum-bootstrap-1_5-p4.wpi" would even work without a major hassle updating Python. Perhaps Bitwise should remove it and just rely on ANPM

Netlabs has a newer one:

http://rpm.netlabs.org/bootstrap/rpm-yum-bootstrap-1_7-pentium4.zip

It's just not linked from the RPM main page. And it is not a WPI but a ZIP.

Hi

For the moment I think I completed the process to changing my ArcaOS 5.0.7 VM from i686 to Pentium4 by using ANPM. I think I will write the sequence on the OS2World wiki, just in case I forget about it on the future.

I will also see if I can update the link on the netlabs RPM project too.

Hi Martin, please post the link when done, I'm interested as well.
Thank you

Hi

Here it is what I wrote: "RPM: Switching from i686 to Pentium4"
Please notice it is experimental and it is not "one size fits all".

I also slip this topic from the other thread, even if it was related it took a different path.

Regards

I don't remember the rest of this thread. But wouldn't it suffice to just update os2-base? That changes the platform.

Hi. The issue that I found is that there are some packages that can not be changed from i686 to pentium4 without a reinstall. If I remember correctly you can't upgrade the rpm package to pentium4, an error shows up.

Regards.

Yes it does. And afterwards all new packages get updated to the right arch. Updating all is not needed as it gains nothing. Iirc this was discussed already several Times.
