Hi folks,

I'm trying to build an RPM for a kernel module that can rebuild itself when the
kernel is upgraded. Using a trigger is the obvious choice, but the process
would be made much cleaner if the trigger script could determine to which
version the triggering package is being upgraded.

Is there a sanctioned way of doing this?



With rpm-4.2.1, you should be able to access the database from the trigger script, so all that is needed
is extracting the correct package from the results of a query.


Note that 2 kernel packages will be installed when the trigger runs, rpm does install before erae.

A more portable solution will require you to script your own test.
