Getting the list of affected metapackages for a set of updated rpms

In order to get the list of metapackages that are affected by a set of new rpms released via a patch, you can run a script.

1. Download the getAffectedDeploymentModules.sh and save it as getAffectedDeploymentModules.sh

2. Download the modules.list and save it as 'modules.list' in the same directory.

3. Setup the APT repository:

Attention: As we have presently two different APT repositories for the different services you need to run the script twice for both repositories (they cannot be combined).

APT string (1) - all metapackages besides glite-WMS, glite-WMSLB

rpm http://glitesoft.cern.ch/EGEE/gLite/APT/R3.0/ rhel30 externals Release3.0 updates

APT string (2) - glite-WMS and glite-WMSLB

rpm http://glitesoft.cern.ch/EGEE/gLite/APT/R3.0/ rhel30 externals Release3.0 updates externals.condor

4. Run the script giving the rpm names, e.g.

The script will create first create a dependency list and then output the list of metapackages that are affected.
