Re: need spec file example to replace files from various packages

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

 




We wrote an RPM that:

(a) Requires whatever other RPMs that we want to use (so a standard install would work and we didn't need to spend time selecting the packages to install and so that we could deploy a newly useful RPM quickly to all machines)

(b) installs our config files to /etc/local-install

(c) includes an init.d script which runs at level 01 in rc2/3/4/5 to copy the above files to their appropriate location (overwriting the RPM-owned file) on each startup.

I couldn't think of a better way.

After installing Fedora, I want to replace various configuration files
on lab computers. If I can learn how to do this in the post section of
an RPM spec file, I will be happy.  For example, I want/need to
replace things like

/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default
/etc/gdm/PostSession/Default
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny

One brute force option is to install with rpm --replacefiles, but yum
does not like that.
So can  you point me at a spec file or two that will give example
syntax on how I can create a backup of those files and replace them
with the ones I want.

Please?
