I'm getting pretty fed up with broken rpms, particularly those that do this install -o root and thought I'd write a script to fixem automagically. I thought too, that this would be useful to others, and therefor it should be sensitive to users' rpm configuration. On exploring rpm's configuration files, I discovered it can be extended. I have created these: [summer@possum indexes]$ cat /etc/popt rpm exec --fix fix.sh [summer@possum indexes]$ locate fix.sh /usr/lib/rpm/fix.sh [summer@possum indexes]$ Now I can say rpm --fix .... which is all very well. What it does NOT get that I can tell is any RPM environment variables. Is there something I've missed? It would be useful to me to have information such as RPM_BUILD_DIR in my script's environment. -- Cheers John Summerfield http://os2.ami.com.au/os2/ for OS/2 support.
