Hello,
First off install the RPM into the skel. To do this you may need to copy the
/var/lib/rpm directory into var/lib in the skel. You'll probably have to force
it as the RPM database is for the host and not the skel, and it will most
probably compain.
The next step is to update your virtual servers. I would obtain a list of files
from the rpm with:
FILES=`rpm -qpl apache-1.3.22-5.6.i386.rpm`
then obtain a list of virtual server's:
VS=`ls -1 /home/vsd/vs`
And then hardlink in the new files:
for vs in $VS; do
# Save the old configuration
cp /home/vsd/$vs/etc/httpd /home/vsd/$vs/etc/httpd.orig
for file in $FILES; do
cp -al /home/vsd/skel/$skel/$file /home/vsd/vs/$vs/$file
done
# Remove the configuration copied in from the RPM
rm -rf /home/vsd/$vs/etc/httpd
# Move the old configuration back to where it belongs
mv /home/vsd/$vs/etc/httpd.orig /home/vsd/$vs/etc/httpd
done
Now I haven't tried this or anything, so should be treated as a rough guide, but
you get the idea.
HTH,
Damion.
