Ensuring rpm integrity



umm, that first "$" was a typo, of course.

shouldda been:

	foreach nam ( * )
	rpm -qi -p $nam || echo $nam >> ~/bad-rpms
	end

;)

Hi.

I'm burning a CD with lots of rpms. Since I got those by ftp,
I want to make sure they're okay before I actually burn.

The only way I could find to check rpms so far was

	foreach $nam ( * )
	rpm -qi -p $nam || echo $nam >> ~/bad-rpms
	end

Now, this looks pretty shaky, since it doesn't verify the whole
rpm but rather checks only the very beginning of the rpm file
(where the header info is stored - and it's not even compressed).

Does anybody have a better idea?
