Unable to do a binary upgrade

[Paul Klos]

Hi all,

I'm trying to do a (partially) binary installation using the instructions in the "Generating your own 00INDEX.rdf for installations or upgrades" 
section of 1st.README.

The upgrade is from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2. My hardware is a powerpc (Excito Bubba|2) running Debian squeeze. It's not that powerful and a full 
upgrade takes several days of compiling, which is why I'd be really happy if I could get the binary upgrade to work.

I downloaded the 2.3.2 source packages and linked all the binary packages into the same directory as per the instructions. Then I ran the 
command:

sh install-kolab.sh -X

This created a new 00INDEX.rdf file, as expected.

Now, the new file is a lot bigger than the original one I downloaded: 464020 vs. 3512600 bytes, so 3.5M instead of 450k.

The new file has all the packages in it twice, both source and binary. If I run the upgrade it starts happiliy building "make" which I already 
have as a binary package of the exact same version, as can be seen from the newly creatad 00INDEX.rdf (grep  "[<]rdf:Description" 
00INDEX.rdf | grep -i \"make):

<rdf:Description about="make-3.81-20080101" href="make-3.81-20080101.src.rpm">
<rdf:Description about="make-3.81-20080101" href="make-3.81-20080101.ppc-bubba300-kolab.rpm">

I cancelled the upgrade process, but I'm kinda stumped now. What do I need to do to make it compile only the changed packages?

Thanks,

Paul
