Host tools for managing target MVL RPMs

Hello,

are there any host-side tools for managing software packages on target filesystem available for MVL 5.0 demo ?

I need to optimize the set of software installed on target platform (DVEVM dm6446).

Thanks.

    If you are looking for a GUI-based tool, I believe your only option would be DevRocket from Montavista.  You see MontaVista uses their own custom RPM system (mvl-rpm); it is mostly compatible with regular RPM 4.1 from my understanding except that you would use "mvl-rpm" command instead of "rpm" if you wanted to do this via command line (no GUI), though I have heard it is a pretty tedious process via command line.

    FYI, the MV demo distro does include a smaller ramdisk file system if you wanted to start with something small and at to it as opposed to starting with a large file-system and figuring out what to delete.

    Thank you!

    I'll give it a try. Command line is OK for me, and I'd be totally happy if there were MVL RPMs available so that I could easily add/remove software packages.
