Hi,
I have a package (package B) which i want to install along with another
package (package A). To install package B i have to run a shell script which
will check weather there is sufficient space in the /tmp directory, if there is
sufficient space, extract the contents of the package B in the tmp directory
and then goes on about installing the package.
To install package B along with package A, i am running the installation
script of package B in post installation steps of package A. I want to check
for the sufficient disk space in the /tmp directory using the package managers
fecelities rather than checking space in /tmp directory in post installation
steps. I can calculate the space required in /tmp to install package B by
reading the installation script of the package B.
I tried using "space" information file. But the problem is that , if disk
space is not available in /tmp directory it gives warning and goes on with the
installation. But i want, installation to abort ones it finds out that
sufficient disk space is not available in /tmp directory. I can check for the
space in /tmp directory wiht checkinstall or preinstall scripts, but this will
be used if no other alternative is not available.
Is there any other way i can achieve this with out using preinstall or
checkinstall??
