Hi again,
 
here with some more information about the topic.
 
Using rpm 4.1 fetching packages directly via ftp works nicely. The command below works fine.
 
Exactly the same commands fails for rpm 5.0.0:
 
$ rpm --ignoreos --dbpath /cygdrive/d/home/rpmroot/rpmdb --relocate /if=/cygdrive/d/home/rpmroot/if --relocate /sys=/cygdrive/d/home/rpmroot/sys -i ftp://user:xxx@192.168.182.128:2666/CoC_sys/Most/Trunk/rpms/most_if-1.0-1.i686.rpm ftp://user:qqq123@192.168.182.128:2666/CoC_sys/Most/Trunk/rpms/most-bin-1.0-1.i686.rpmerror: open of ftp://user:xxx@192.168.182.128:2666/CoC_sys/Most/Trunk/rpms/most_if-1.0-1.i686.rpm failed: No such file or directoryIs this a bug or feature?
 
Thx,
Stefan

Hi, I was wondering if ftp / http support is still available in rpm-5.0.0.  Which configure option has impact on availability of those features? Thx,Stefan
