Re: Environment variables in RPM installation scripts

Hi!

The build dir was an example. I guess what I really need is the source.

I want to apply a post-installation patch.

Are you suggesting that I put my patch file with the %files in a known location and use it from there?

I don't really want to install the patch file as part of the installation... All I want to do is something like:

%post
patch -p0 < my_patch_file


How would you do this?


Thanks for the comments!

However, nothing is being returned to me for the value of $RPM_BUILD_DIR (or anything else, for that matter), so I'm not able to locate the build

Why/how should the *build* dir be available at *install* time?
All files you need at install time should be in the package.
