[Please note, I'm not challenging what you say, as I am sure > you're right, but there is something I am missing] You're missing what %_netsharedpath does. For example %_netsharedpath /usr makes rpm not drop any files under /usr but just assume the files it'd drop there are already there (useful for eg. a central NFS-shared /usr - the server installs rpms with files there, clients install the same RPMs locally but don't touch anything in /usr). However, %_netsharedpath only affects files in package payloads, scriptlets need to be taken care of by packagers. > Shouldn't the LTSP packager be getting his changes to these files > incororated into the setup package, rather than changing those files on package > installation? Possibly (but that might be harder than it seems). But that's not my point, the point is that more that those files are marked as %config and thus supposedly... configurable, modifiable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
