How move a package to use alternatives

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Garrick Staples and I are trying to move the torque and gridengine packages to use alternatives for the common POSIX queuing binaries they provide (qsub, qstat, etc). However, upgrades to the new packages that use alternatives fail to create the symbolic links. Garrick hit the nail on the head of the problem here I think:

The upgrade occurs as follows (using /usr/bin/qsub as example)

/usr/bin/qsub exists and is owned by torque-1
torque-2 files are installed (/usr/bin/qsub not owned by torque-2)
torque-2 %post runs alternatives (installing /usr/bin/qsub symlink - or perhaps not because /usr/bin/qsub exists)
torque-1 cleanup removes /usr/bin/qsub

How can we get around this?
