When composing a rootfs from a bag of target rpms, we extract the %pre's, move the 'binaries' directories (bin, lib, ...) in the target rootfs to <name>.save, symlink in the host equivalents, run the scriptlets, undo the moves, do an rpm install with --noscripts, extract the %posts, move off the binaries, link in the hosts, run the posts, undo the moves. Surprisingly effective for 90% or more of scriptlets, since most of them just modify a data file. Of course this is Python wrapper code that utilized the RPM module to pull scriptlets, etc. Clark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGcvWwHyuj/+TTEp0RAtVGAKCk+Zu5k3alK96ieU5q8ppIlj+FcgCdEbcr Sk5QIo5r7JPNTrkR+w53gL0= =C8BA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
