Kernel compilation from source - yum ovzkernel dependency [message #23030]

I have compiled my kernel from source, and patched it with Openvz.

I then try to install vzctl and vzquota, and yum complains saying it needs to install ovzkernel, which I installed from source...Is there a way of telling yum that my kernel is a 'ovzkernel' or getting the apps installed without complaining about dependencies?

thank you

Generally, you either go yum way or manual way -- can not mix both together as rpm/yum doesn't know about the software which you installed without rpm/yum.

Still, there are two options in your particular case:

1. Create and install some stub package which "Provides: ovzkernel". If you have some rpm experience this is pretty trivial.

2. Download vzctl/vzquota rpms manually and install with

rpm -ihv --nodeps

command.

my mistake...

I had been trying to use yum, and could not understand why it wouldn't work with -nodeps and that help for yum never mentioned any --nodeps option...

now I understand, -nodeps is for rpm...

It all works now.

thanks kir
