Ok, I´m try to do that, but the variables that are defined on the top of spec file will be avaliable for the %post section? How can I access then on the %post section? e.g: %post chgrp oracle: %{script_path} <div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/17 Todd Zullinger <<a href="mailto:tmz@pobox.com">tmz@pobox.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">Bruno Galindro da Costa wrote: > I´m building a RPM package and I need to check if a user exists > before install the package.

By the time the %pre scriptlet is running, the %defattr in the %files section is long since set. You could use chgrp in %post to fix up the group ownership of the files, which will make rpm complain if you run --verify against this package. There's probably a better way to handle this if you're willing and able to change more than just this one package. It seems to me that needing to do this seems like a good indication that something else is wrong. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: <a href="http://www.pobox.com/%7Etmz/pgp" target="_blank">www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp</a> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All I really want for Christmas is Santa's list of Naughty Girls. -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> Guidelines: <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines</a> </blockquote></div> -- Att.
