All I'm saying is packagers should just not assume that scriptlets will always succeed and that'll provide the basic catch-all level of support for scenarios such as the above (which I think is enough), and many others such as things discussed in this thread. We already have that documented, see the scriptlet exit status discussion at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Syntax But as said, I'm not personally interested in %_netsharedpath except to some theoretical extent, so... meh. Aside, I do think it should be evaluated whether rpm's current default behavior regarding scriptlet exit statuses is really what we want, or if it should be flipped so that the effects on the transaction non-zero exit statuses currently have (which I believe is rarely if ever desirable) would need to be explicitly invoked in scriptlets some way. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
