Ship an RPM Patch
Hi,
We have shipped an RPM. Want to fix defects which will involve sending across a subset of the original files. Is it possible to create a patch to the rpm like other OS's. I am aware of patching an source rpm, which delivers the full set of files. Mine case is to deliver only a subset. If yes, could somebody help me to create it. Thanks |

If I create the rpm with the same versions, it says: package <pkg> is already installed If I increase the release version: Install: A new package is created and on its un-installation the files don't revert back to base package Upgrade: The base package is removed and with it all the files that are not in the patch package. How do i get around this? |

Yup,
That's always the option. I was just thinking if there an option to ship a patch comprising of only the changed files. Similar to other OS's Looks like there isn't. |
