Fedora Users — Re: RPM Spec File - %define into %pre section

Ok, I´m try to do that, but the variables that are defined on the top of spec file will be avaliable for the %post section? How can I access then on the %post section?

e.g:

%post
chgrp oracle: %{script_path}

I don't think you can do what you want with rpm. By the time the %pre
scriptlet is running, the %defattr in the %files section is long since
set. You could use chgrp in %post to fix up the group ownership of
the files, which will make rpm complain if you run --verify against
this package.

There's probably a better way to handle this if you're willing and
able to change more than just this one package. It seems to me that
needing to do this seems like a good indication that something else is
wrong.
