Hello all: I am creating some rpm's that need to be upgradable in the same way that the kernel is upgradable. That is both the original and upgraded packages (and their filelists) exist in the RPM database. I currently have a pre-install scriptlet that looks at the rpm command and aborts if it is being invoked outside of an rpm --install. This does produce what I am after if I use --install only. However this doesn't work under yum. Indeed 'yum install package' really does an upgrade leaving only the new release in the rpm database. The goal here is to have both the old and new versions of the application on disk. I have sen mention on the yum list of some magic in the RPM kernel builds that allows this to happen but I haven't had any luck in finding a description of how to make it happen. Does anybody have a pointer to the docs I need? Thanks for your help. -- -- rouilj John Rouillard System Administrator Renesys Corporation 603-643-9300 x 111 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
