Rpm spec has two logical part - one part described source files, patches and build process. Second part described where files will be installed, wich permissions, owner, group, pre/post/ install uninstall scripts, triggers, etc. Information about first part can't be extarcted from binary rpm. Information about first part can be extracted with set of different queries, or more simple with rpmrebuild (http://rpmrebuild.sourceforge.net) Valery > > Thanks, > Shekhar. > > _______________________________________________ > Rpm-list mailing list > Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list __________________________________ Yahoo!
