I don't really know that much about RPM's, so I can't offer much helpful insight. David Bateman did some work on autogenerating RPM spec files for packages. Did you look at this? > Although, now that I look at the octave-forge repo, I don't see a single > package that has an on_unistall.m file. Could we reserve this for distro use? Can't you just add an 'on_rpm_uninstall.m' and do a echo "on_rpm_uninstall" >> on_uninstall.m to ensure that this script is called? > Finally, when a user tries to remove and rpm install octave package, they get: > > octave:3> pkg uninstall octcdf > warning: some of the packages you want to uninstall are not installed > > which does not seem correct. Hmm, I guess we should check if the package in question is installed by 'root' and adapt the error message accordingly. We could say something like: "warning: you do not have the necessary privileges to remove package 'XXX'". Could you open a bug report on http://bugs.octave.org for this?
