I wasn't refering to rpm5/dbconvert.sh in that paragraph of mine, but considering that I chose a wrong approach in the past with populating chroots _in general_. Sorry if I didn't express myself clearly. I do not trust dbconvert.sh to automagically find out whether a RPMDB needs converting or not, hence I do not call it from rpm's %post. What I wanted to ask was: Considering installing RPM packages into a system initially, such as it often happens when creating a build chroot, what's the best approach one can choose here? > Everything is _EXACTLY_ as has always been implemented with > rpm and chroot(2). There are no changes: > A script/executable invoked while installing with rpm -r > can escape a chroot and do whatever it wishes. Sure, in that case I gladly eat my hat or do something similar as to punish myself for my own stupidity since I'm the one creating %post & co. :-) TIA, Eric -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJN9izCAAoJEIXD2TZ1epVB32wP/R437nRb6P//wpz5FYncHGaU V+dSOw+enqnpZbi7JDUahzBLK9i4mSVWCC0I0fk8U1HgN7NzoBcYBQokg+aKmv5e GIm+6ngv5dAaT1ldVvENwxxR4HNRF9znnTs8OnRTLjF4rbwDowUGaPph8iuoY8Me TbW960eceygAPXhdpxCcu/imSkEBvubvqbXGt1pbpQZ+/iWucKq6N7KXCIFnWG+X i+UabOOHAq2wpGFFdxrK+Zmx4iMBYGcDLXj37m4LplW6OAZHE33ScjdJLAhF0VLr H/ZrCTKe6wctoHa6ccAacvYhXt7hahDKVoyDZNkVNFXV775rZMLqBv4JbYfH4bXZ XTxVGJjQ0PwoQmAsd8wnvo5daHji36eVRHUlGE75onnYlgIBiXG4KkEvlhewDymU LQD0TeP0bh5w6XMinoHe4+X+9gzEG4SqOlFm2XTQT3Hq5HHFkRRz5u95VT2LMmK+ pfZ4xa3TwiJ8bCQuou8p/cqP0fgAf8arJvAOeJN5unCG3lm5fXaqylgCFdaGIZKv QrB0aE7eGe0/IVm9YApRp0+YgiG7IVX71vOf3VeAM3aqsDboZznewusLUsYxconc DGN8Q6uL35A0V0SK/1c37WSnEBwF74nNR7/atfHYH6VjvfMblq8zckuUAypm5P6L WjkrAecFM3+P4cHEgVdl =Wa84 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
