RE: Get the command in the rpm spec

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I also notice an little issue in the rpm document about the “rpm -U” command http://fedoranews.org/alex/tutorial/rpm/1.shtml:

Note that the "-U" Upgrading option simple removes the old and installed package, then install the new one.

 

The “-U” option installs the new package first and then removes the old ones. Refer to the man:

This upgrades or installs the package currently installed to a newer version.  This is the same as  install,  except  all  other

       version(s) of the package are removed after the new package is installed.

 

Thanks,

Wendy

Thanks for your feedback, Greg.

 

I agree that looks odd. A package was supposed to support multiple version first, and now wants the user can only install one version.

 

Maybe removing the version# in the installation path is the best solution to implement the only one instance limitation.

 

Thanks,

Wendy

d) if your weren't using a versioned directory the -i would break because the filename would be the same, and thus the packages would conflict.

 

So I'd like to retract this.  in your case it doesn't happen.  Its seems to only care about binaries and libraries? not sure what the logic on that is.
