Hello all, Testing the send/receive to the list after changing the email service provider. The older one was biased against this list and not sending or receiving mail. Wish you all a Happy New Year (belated that is). -- Regards, Nitesh Mistry | www.mistrynitesh.com PGP key id: A6FEF696 | 'geekosopher' on freenode irc

And that is reasonable. I checked above URL but there is no RPM.. there are SRPMs but not RPMs.. so not useful.. However thanks everybody for your response. Conclusion: Though I use Spacewalk server I need to pay for B & C servers... I can not redestribute those binaries... Can we use CentOS repo for that? Regards Neelesh Gurjar

FOSS profit
by Sagar Belure 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi all, Maybe I'm asking another noob question. But, wanted to know, how the big companies gain profit who run Free and Open Source project like Mozilla, Apache, etc. Of course, even if you are working for Free and Open source projects, there has to be some income. I'm hoping for the varieties of views on this. PS: Apologize for the cross post. Do not include the other mailing list id if you are not subscribed to it. -- Thanks, Sagar Belure

Fwd: command to get description of packages listed in a file
by Kussh Singh 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hi all Is there any easy way to get the description of all packages listed in a file which contains the names of all such packages? eg. i used sudo dpkg --get-selections >installed-software to make a list of all installed software packages on my system However I want to remove some of them in batch mode (from the command line) instead of by using synaptic and deleting them one by one which is a cumbersome process. So the description of such packages is needed in another file containing a subset of names of packages likely to be removed. How can this be done ? Kussh
