Hi
Look at the an old thread "order of processing for rpm -Uhv (?)" and the IBM reference [1], I have a question about the %pre section.
According to the IBM reference:
Here are the actual values passed during an install:
* Run %pre of new package (1)
* Install new files
* Run %post of new package (1)Here are the values passed during an upgrade:
* Run %pre of new package (2)
* Install new files
* Run %post of new package (2)
* Run %preun of old package (1)
* Delete any old files not overwritten by newer ones
* Run %postun of old package (1)Here are the values passed during a delete:
* Run %preun of old package (0)
* Delete files
* Run %postun of old package (0)What are the common practices when upgrading a server? I took a look at postfix and httpd spec files, non of them actually do the following:
if [ "$1" = "2" ];
/sbin/service <server> stop
fi
Am I missing something here? Do I actually need to stop the server?
Thanks, Liming [1] http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-rpm3.html
