Take a look at gallery2: Example. In %install: #remove bundled Smarty. rm -rf lib/smarty ln -s ../../php/Smarty2 ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty Then in %post: if [ -L %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty ]; then rm -f %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty fi if [ -d %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty -a ! -L %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty ]; then mv %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty.rpmbak && \ ln -s ../../php/Smarty2 %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty && \ rm -rf %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty.rpmbak fi if [ ! -L %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty ]; then ln -s ../../php/Smarty2 %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty fi Then in %files %ghost %{installprefix}/gallery2/lib/smarty Pretty? Nope. Overkill? Maybe? Reliable? So far. This was the product of work by myself, Rex Dieter, and some serious pain. <shudder> moodle has similar examples, including one we had to reverse. -J > -- > Adam Williamson > Fedora QA Community Monkey > IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora > http://www.happyassassin.net > > -- > devel mailing list > devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct -- http://cecinestpasunefromage.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------ in your fear, seek only peace in your fear, seek only love -d. bowie
