Hi !
I have a problem here. I tried to use the above mentioned macro. It
seems i fail to find the right syntax.
I have tried
%_pre_useradd vdr /var/lib/vdr
but that seems not to work. I had then a look at the rpm macros and the
user-helper script.
Thats is the macro:
%_add_user_helper /usr/share/rpm-helper/add-user
%_pre_useradd() %_add_user_helper %{name} $1 %{1} %{2} %{3} \
%{nil}
I suppose %nil to be an empty string. But with that , the following
script would not work.
if [ $# -lt 5 ]; then
echo "usage: $0 <pkg name> <num installed> <user name> <home dir>
<shell>" 1>&2
exit 1
fi
pkg=$1 # name of the package
num=$2 # number of packages installed
name=$3 # name of the user
dir=$4 # home directory
shell=$5 # shell
So shouldn't it be
%_pre_useradd() %_add_user_helper %{name} $1 %{1} %{2} %{3} %{4}
then ?
Further I don't know which number i should give fro %{1}, i suppose from
reading rpm howto, that 1 is the right, as the user should only be
created if the package is installed the first time. Is this right ?
Sorry if this is just dump, i try hard to learn how all these things
work ;)
Hope somebody could shed some light on this as it seems i can't get it
to work.
