I'm not sure I understand what you suggest: the postinstall script is executed after the package is *installed*. By then the rpm has already been created (according to the instructions in the spec file). BTW: even if you change the spec file in the %install phase (which is very messy indeed) it shoudn't change the current rpm operation, to the best of my knowledge. Anyway, one of the ideas of an rpm is that its creation is reconstructable, and as much as possible, system-independent. This is unlike a deb package which is created by a makefile, and it is actually very easy to change things in the middle (but you really shouldn't, unless you really know what you're doing, in the perl sense of this phrase ;-) ). -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:tzafrir@;technion.ac.il http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
