I need to change something within an rpm but i don't have the spec files etc.
Here are the world is ending, please don't ask us to stop the cats and dogs sleeping together instructions: I normally pull out the files via rpm2cpio into a subtree. I then do rpm -q --scripts and rpm -q --triggerscripts to look at what scripts the RPM was doing. I then create a new rpm out of the list of files (put them in a tar ball, have the %build untar that tar ball and rebuiid. Put the trigger and pre/post scripts into the RPM. Make the changes you need to do to make what you need working for Trendmicro etc. Install rpm on test machine. Fix problems, lather, rinse, repeat.
