Hi,
I have made two test packages to see the rpm script execution order
and the arguments passed to those scripts. This raises two questions.
The rpm documentation says the following about script execution:
new-%pre for new version of package being installed
... (all new files are installed)
new-%post for new version of package being installed
any-%triggerin (%triggerin from other packages set off by new install)
new-%triggerin
old-%triggerun
any-%triggerun (%triggerun from other packages set off by old uninstall)
old-%preun for old version of package being removed
... (all old files are removed)
old-%postun for old version of package being removed
old-%triggerpostun
any-%triggerpostun (%triggerpostun from other packages set off by old un
install)
Having two packages installed, rpmtrace-a and rpmtrace-b, both version
0.1, triggering each other, and upgrading rpmtrace-a to version 0.2
(*only* "-a", not "-b"!), I see this script execution order:
Thu Jun 3 22:45:56 CEST 2004 rpmtrace-a-0.2-1 %{pre} 2
Thu Jun 3 22:45:56 CEST 2004 rpmtrace-a-0.2-1 %{post} 2
Thu Jun 3 22:45:56 CEST 2004 rpmtrace-b-0.1-1 %{triggerin}[rpmtrace-a] 2 2
Thu Jun 3 22:45:56 CEST 2004 rpmtrace-a-0.2-1 %{triggerin}[rpmtrace-b] 1 1
Thu Jun 3 22:45:56 CEST 2004 rpmtrace-a-0.1-1 %{triggerun}[rpmtrace-b] 0 1
Thu Jun 3 22:45:56 CEST 2004 rpmtrace-b-0.1-1 %{triggerun}[rpmtrace-a] 2 1
Thu Jun 3 22:45:56 CEST 2004 rpmtrace-a-0.1-1 %{preun} 1
Thu Jun 3 22:45:56 CEST 2004 rpmtrace-a-0.1-1 %{postun} 1
Thu Jun 3 22:45:56 CEST 2004 rpmtrace-b-0.1-1 %{triggerpostun}[rpmtrace-a] 2 1
Now my two questions:
- The documented "old-%triggerpostun" does not seem to be executed.
- I do not understand the parameters of the %trigger scripts. I thought
it showed the # packages installed after the whole rpm operation of
the package that included the trigger script and the trigger packages.
But I even *two* 2's at some point (first trigger script).
How are the exact semantics of the arguments given to the scripts?
Thanks,
