Re: How to create RPM fron installed packages?
Quote:
To repackage an installed package simply do:
rpm -e --repackage package_name
You will now find the .rpm of what you just un-installed in /var/spool/repackage and you can reinstall it again, and keep the .rpm. I love rpm.
This is great for when that particular version of that app you really need is nowhere to be found anymore.
