There is no packaging magic involved here, just 2 rules: - Be sure multiple versions of your package do not have conflicting files/directories, so that they can be installed together. - The installer (e.g. yum, up2date, etc.) has to be told that you want an install i.s.o. an upgrade for your package. RPM itself can not be told that it should not do an upgrade, but an install. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
