Hello folks, We have a RPM which contains a database application which needs to update the database structure. We do this from the %pre because the database should be updated *before* the new application is installed. The new structure is stored in an external textfile which is used by the %pre script. At this moment we have a cat > newstructure.txt << @EOF ... @EOF construction in which we copy the content of newstructure.txt each time we have an update. But we'd really like to directly include an external file, something like: %pre ... cat > newstructure.txt << @EOF %include db/newstructure.txt @EOF ... Is something like this possible with RPM? We can't use files from %files because we are at %pre and we can't use %post because then the new application code is already installed. TIA, Dick
