We have many post scripts that we run during an install, and if one fails it is difficult to tell how or why. I patched Anaconda to display the output of the log file if a post script fails.
To enable this functionality, add --log, and --erroronfail to your post script.
%post --interpreter /bin/sh --erroronfail --log=/tmp/foo.log
if [ ! -f /tmp/check ] ;
echo "/tmp/check does not exist"
exit 1
fi
exit 0
With this patch you can quickly see the error message in the GUI/console without having to do any postmortem work.
