Remove version numbers from package names
/bin/rpm -qa | sed 's/-[0-9].*//'is wrong.
Use this instead:
/bin/rpm -qa --qf "%{n}\n"Mad props to ssatoh and rhonda.
That is all.
Pull files off Android phone
This assumes you have Android Debug Bridge (ADB) installed. This will pull all files from a directory in an Android phone. cd /path/to/destination/directory adb pull /path/to/source . As Julian says, "Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy." (I use this, by the way, since the Nexus 5 and OS X Mavericks refuse to work together in USB mode.)
different solution: rpm -qa --qf "%{n}\n"
ReplyDeleteActually, that's not a different solution, it's the PROPER solution. The original poster's snippet would happily remove any part of the package name that happens to start with -[0-9].
ReplyDeletePackages that are affected on the system I'm on are compat-libstdc++-33, xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi, java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.
There is even an error in the other direction: The version of cdparanoia-libs-alpha9.8 isn't stripped because it doesn't start off with a digit.
(for the curious, this is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.6)
Wow, thanks. Learned something new again. Updating the post.
