Hello all,
Is there a way within a spec file to distinguish whether or not your RPM is being installed via a kickstart or is it being installed on an existing server? Perhaps you can write some scriptlet that will act one way during an installation via kickstart and another way during a manual installation on an existing server...
Thanks very much,
Ben Piela
I don't know why you would want to do this, but you probrubly have your reasons. The only reason I can think of is that your rpm doesn't install correctly during a kickstart (or install) versus a regular install. There are usually other tricks to make it work right.
BUT ... just incase there is some legitimate reason, I had done something similar. Basically, I wanted a different script to be installed if a rpm was installed via YUM versus if it was installed any other way. The technique I used should work.
Basically, just find something unique that you would be able to see during an install, that you wouldn't see after the machine was up. In your %pre, %post or whichever script, do a check for that thing, then if you see that thing run your 'kickstart' commands, and if you don't, run your 'normal' commands.
I don't know what you would check for, that's just the technique, not the details.
