I've started a web page on this topic. It is currently at the end of
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/PackagingTask as i didn't
found how to create a new page...
Anyway, it seems to be more productive to discuss on cooker :-) The problem i
have is once the new apache-specific config file has been inserted in
/etc/httpd/conf.d, how to reload apache configuration correctly ?
The current rpm-helper %_post_service and %_pre_service macros are supposed to
add a new service, which is not the case here.
JMD use the following for apache2 itself:
if [ -e /usr/sbin/ADVXctl ]; then /usr/sbin/ADVXctl update;fi
However, i don't see the need to test for /usr/sbin/ADVXctl presence, as it is
needed by package dependencies. Moreover, it is not to be done for all
post/postun, as simple upgrade doesn't need to reload change, only first
installation and removal.
Sofar, i've used the following:
%post
if [ $1 -eq 1 ]; then
/sbin/service httpd graceful
fi
%postun
if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
/sbin/service httpd graceful
fi
Is there anything better ? Could this be turned into some additional rpm macro
?
