You can include whatever commands or bash scripts you want in the spec file.

There are no SRPM files. There is a folder in > the BUILD directory with all of the source files in it. You build the RPM using the spec file. The process is described in the docs at the URL I sent in my previous post. So at the end of the process there should be an RPM file generated. BTW, a PKG file does not require an RPM, other than a null RPM to make it happy. So if you wanted to just include a tar.gz file and a script in upgrade_me to do your dirty work it wouldn't be a problem. I'm not saying that's preferable to building an RPM and using that within your PKG file, but it's certainly not a technical requirement. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
