Without a more detailed view of the rpm and the file I would say that if your package owns them then the likely answer is yes. mysql's package doesn't down the files it creates in /var/lib/mysql, which are only created post-install, but it does on the directory. So the mysql spec might be a good place to go look for an example. -greg _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
