[SOLVED] rpm spec file to overwrite my service script

yaplej · 05-05-2010, 03:54 PM

Hello,

I have written a spec file for packaging my application in an rpm, but it reports a conflict when I am trying to update my service script in /etc/init.d/. This is a file that I do need to update/replace so how might I force the rpm to do that?

Thanks.

What is the "conflict" you are getting ?

When packages have the same name, and the new package
(new version no. , major or minor )
is installed with # rpm -Uvh <package>
.. the files are updated.

'rpm -ivh' is not to be used, will not update.

When different packages contains coincident file names :
# rpm -Uvh --force <package>

' --force ' means : replace files. Please see 'man rpm'

..

Thanks,

I got it to work correctly by using rpm -U <package>. There was nothing wrong in my spec file apparently.
