My meta-suggestion is that scriptlets should be minimized and removed wherever possible. Instead RPM should have some %-directives such as: %service foo --enabled-by-default RPM should then collect together the full set of instructions across the whole transaction and perform the necessary steps (defined by the distribution) at the end. Performing the steps could include ignoring %service directives entirely, which would be useful in the non-root install-to-a-subdirectory case. Also extend this to other cases where scriptlets are used, eg: %user --requires=qemu.qemu (The vast majority of scriptlets are used simply to run ldconfig, and rpm should just autodetect this case when a library is installed by any package in the transaction). And no, I'm not going to code this just yet ... Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
