Hello, we are preparing our company for a move from netware and windows to linux and are starting working on builidng our own rpm packages. First we want to put all software that will be sinatlled on the server be available as rpm packages. Here's the problem: HP provides for it's Porliant server the "Proliant Support Pack for Linux" which delivers agents for hardware monitoring of the server as well as updated drivers, .... The package consists of a shell script and several rpm packages. The shell script launches a hardware detection of the server and detects which of the rpms have to be installed. Putting all this into a single rpm package will result in a "rpm database is locked" message during the installation of the rpm. Here is the part of the spec file: %post cd /images/plsp740 ./install740.sh --silent --inputfile ./psp-7.40.sles9.response.txt --force Is there a chance to install rpms insode another rpm ? I was looking for a ocumentation but couldn't find anything ybout it. The rpm version is 4.1.1 Thanks for your help.
