Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] %force file list directive (#1118)
It's not so easy, it needs some changes in rpm's aliasing detection code (i.e. symlinked directories) so that the rpm internals know what's going on. I'm already working on this, but the development has been stalled the last weeks due to other work needing to be done first. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] %force file list directive (#1118)
Alternatively, I can also imagine more specific `%replace_{symlink,directory}`
where RPM would know what was expected there and what is the replacement.
On top of that, RPM could automatically create backup and own the backup, so it
is removed when RPM is removed.

[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] %force file list directive (#1118)
Thinking about symlink <-> directory conversion, wouldn't be possible to have something like `%force` file list directive? That would do something like "remove whatever is standing in a way, be it file/directory/symlink and place there content from this RPM". -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
