Thanks for that info so that spawns a new question. How do I copy the file if it doesn't exist and not overlay it if it does exists? Or does rpm automatically handle that for you when you are do a install -m 755 start_apache $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_sysconfdir}/start_apache I thought it just overlaid the file. -----Original Message----- From: rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jos Vos Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 11:43 AM To: RPM Package Manager Subject: Re: %config(noreplace) On Thu, Mar 03, 2005 at 11:38:09AM -0500, Lehman, Jason (Registrar's Office) wrote: > I thought you used %config(noreplace) to say if this file exists don't > copy it over but I thought it also said if it doesn't exist create it.

This is an error you get when you *build* the package, at what time your $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/init.d/start_apache of course should exist. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
