Circa 2004-03-17 10:55:58 -0500 dixit Michael Jennings: : Whatever packaging system you use, be it RPM, dpkg, HP's sw depot, : Solaris pkg, or whatever, it has to maintain a certain level of : control, consistency, and sanity. If you find yourself continually : being bitch-slapped by your package manager, perhaps there's a better : way of doing what you're trying to do. For example, keep system mods in a script which you can run after every system update to restore custom perms, turn off services, etc. Or, use a centralized configuration management system, like cfengine. -- jim knoble | jmknoble@xxxxxxxxx | http://www.pobox.com/~jmknoble/ (GnuPG fingerprint: 31C4:8AAC:F24E:A70C:4000::BBF4:289F:EAA8:1381:1491) ..................................................................... :"The methods now being used to merchandise the political candidate : : as though he were a deodorant positively guarantee the electorate : : against ever hearing the truth about anything." --Aldous Huxley : :...................................................................: _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
