Need to create directories using RPM - Pls let me know
 

Hi Everyone,

I have created a binary RPM for my project.
This RPM is to be installed on Linux machine in specific user defined directories.
I have been creating those directories manually everytime before I install the RPM on the target machine.
Is there a way to instruct the RPM itself to create directories and then install the modules respectively.
I would really appreciate any info on the same.

Thank you

Dinesh

You can run any shell command in your RPM spec file, so as a last resort you can just put the necessary mkdir commands in the spec file, perhaps in the %pre section.
