I have had previously added an install shell scripts that actually did
an install.
This is what it consisted of in my spec file:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%install
sh ./installer.sh
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The script was in the q-statusLinux-5.10.tar-gz file and this is what I was:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
VAR=$1
if [ "${VAR}" == "no" ]; then
echo "**********************NO*****************"
exit;
fi
cd ../
tar cf - q-statusLinux-5.10 | (cd /var/local; tar xf -)
echo "**********************INSTALLED*****************"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I do rpmbuild it actually installs the program on the machine where
I am building the rpm and makes me an rpm (But does not update the
Package Manager- no surprise there). But when I export the rpm to
another machine and install it. Nothing gets installed except the
Package Manager gets updated. What Am I missing, here?
