Supply the patch file (or the complete file itself) as a 'here' document in %post, or a sed script. Since it is not part of %files, rpm won't complain about a conflict. Of course, rpm -V will report that the file has changed, but that is as expected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim Wildman, CISSP, RHCE jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.rossberry.com "Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."
