>From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets: "Most commands in the snippets in this document have a "|| :" appended to them. This little piece of code causes each such command to exit with a successful exit status whether or not the command worked. This is important because the scriptlet as a whole will error the moment it tries to execute a command that has a non-zero exit status." That's not quite correct, at least with rpm we have in Fedora. Scriptlets (contrary to build scripts) are not actually executed through sh -e, therefore a failed command won't cause the whole scriptlet to fail. Only the last command executed matters. Generally we want to have scriptlets that always succeed, so added "|| :" doesn't break anything, but in case where we want to fail the installation of the package (as in UsersAndGroups packaging draft that wants to abort installation if required user isn't available) this doesn't work as one might expect. For scriptlets that should always return 0 just add : as the last line of the script and add "|| exit 1" to a command that should abort the whole script when failed. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
