hi, after we carefully examine this wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets?rd=Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#Scriptlet_Ordering still don't understand how rpm works (or the wiki is wrong). suppose we've got a package pkg with this in the spec: %pre . /usr/share/pkg/foo pkg_pre %post . /usr/share/pkg/foo pkg_post where pkg_pre and pkg_post are shell functions in the /usr/share/pkg/foo shell script file. pkg-1.0 has this function: pkg_pre { echo "pre-1.0"; } pkg_post { echo "post-1.0"; } while pkg-2.0: pkg_pre { echo "pre-2.0"; } pkg_post { echo "post-2.0"; } questions 1: if i install pkg-1.0 will it echo pre-1.0? if yes how can it be possible since the file /usr/share/pkg/foo only installed in step 3 which is after step 2 (%pre of new package)? questions 2: when i upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 according to the above wiki step 2. it should have to echo pre-2.0 or pre-1.0? since the already installed /usr/share/pkg/foo is 1.0? but (after we test it) we got pre-2.0. why? so what is the truth here and how can i run any kind of script or file installed by 1.0 during the update process to 2.0? the only way seems to %pre of the new package since step 3 install the new file (ie. overwrite all old file), so all rpm scripts of the old packages runs after the new files have been already installed. thanks. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!" -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
