Three mechanisms: 1. Create a real RPM out of the tarball, so it's under RPM management 2. Stuff the tarball in a simple RPM (files only) so it's installed to the system already, ready-to-be-extracted 3. Put the tarball on a HTTP server, then do a "curl -O http://"; to fetch it during %post #1 and #3 are the most common. I wouldn't recommend #2, it's probably just better to do #1 (or #3 if you're not going to do it right). If you have Spacewalk / RHN Satellite Server, the /pub URL on the server itself is available (/var/www/html/pub). You can also use a configuration channel to push down any required post-installation and/or configuration files/scripts for it. -- Bryan J Smith Senior Consultant Red Hat GPS SE US mailto:bjs@xxxxxxxxxx +1 (407) 489-7013 (Mobile) mailto:b.j.smith@xxxxxxxx (non-RH/ext to Blackberry) -------------------------------------------------------- You already know Red Hat as the entity dedicated to 100% no-IP-strings-attached, community software development.
