source RPMs and updating

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've built my own Postfix package from SRPM and have recently updated it. To do so, I used the newer SRPM and repeated the process.

But, I'm wondering if, once a package has been built, can it be updated using a pre-built RPM without losing the specs used to build the original? Or, will the newer RPM simply override everything according to how it was built?

Just to clarify, the original built-from-source package was:
postfix-2.5.1-1.sasl2.spf.fc8.i386.rpm

I downloaded a newer SRPM, built and installed:
postfix-2.5.6-1.sasl2.spf.fc8.i386.rpm

But, could I have simply done:

rpm -Uvh postfix-2.5.6-1.fc8.i386.rpm

... and had rpm take care to install in the same manner as was the original SRPM?
