Finding out triggered package version

2010-07-14 Thread Jefferson Ogata 
I'm trying to write a SPEC file for a package that will be triggered on 
kernel upgrades. Its trigger scriptlet will execute a script to install 
a kernel module. The script needs to know the version of the new kernel.


Is there any way for a trigger scriptlet to discover the version of the 
triggered package that is being installed?


Thanks in advance.

 The package that was just installed is what fired the trigger
 script. Perhaps easiest to get the last package installed is
   rpm -qa --last | gead -n 1

 but there's likely simpler if I thought a bit.

I'm gonna assume rpm-5.x behavior (because different than @rpm.org).

There is a means iirc (but I can't remember offhand which of these methods 
works)


Thanks for the detailed response. Actually using rpm-4.4.2.3-18.el5 and 
will ask on the rpm.org list as well, but thought you might have some 
ideas, and you did.


Given that no matter what I do it seems a bit klugey, I'm leaning toward 
just enumerating all the installed kernels and making sure the target 
module is installed in each of them.


Will follow up in a couple of days. Thanks again for the great info!
