creating rpm to install also dependencies files required

[jayasekar.k]

Hi friends,

I have created rpm package, which installs 1 executable or bin file in /usr/bin. Let us say that bin file as sample. The problem is, to run the sample, it requires mysql to be installed in the same system. I know how to check the dependencies while creating the rpm. It is by using "Requires: ". But i dont know
1. How to install the dependencies if it is not installed on that system
2. How to upgrade the dependencies if it is lower version.


Can any one help me.
Thanks in advance.

installing the dependencies of the package is the package installer/package manager's job, not the job of the package itself, this is how RPM (and every other package) works.
