Hello, I am building a kickstart that is fairly simple but has many repetitive actions based on a large set of files. I have the file sets listed in a simple text file and wrote a perl script to simple open the file, read the line, parse the filename and output the needed command with the right chunks of the full filename in the right places. I did it in perl and not bash because I am not sure how to do it well in bash or sh etc. I would like to just run this script and or fuction right in mz .spec file. I cannot seem to find any data on if I can do this. Or can someone show me a quick bash code snip for doing something like : MYFILE CODE/SET1/File.txt ... install() open file MYFILE while (file) # a = CODE, b = SET1, c = File d = txt (a,b,c,d) = parse(line) instcmd -n ="b" -f = "c.d" end while # in the postun section cleandb() open file MYFILE while(file) (a,b,c,d) = parse(line) rmcmd -n = c end while This way I could just define the right fileset for each subpackage and I won't have to maintain a list of 100 or more identical opperations, just dump an ls into a file for setx-file-list.txt when I need to rebuild the rpms for an updated set of file. Thanks for any help, thoughts and education. Aaron _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
