From marc at mwiriadi.id.au Sat Oct 6 09:28:52 2007 From: marc at mwiriadi.id.au (Marc Wiriadisastra) Date: Sat, 06 Oct 2007 17:28:52 +0800 Subject: [Fedora-mentors-list] preload Message-ID: <1191662932.3224.1.camel@strikeforce.mwiriadi.id.au> Hey all, I have a quick question. I have created/modified the preload spec from the package preload and there are %config directives as well as other directives listed in the spec file. While it works I have found little information of what each of those macro's does and how to effectively work with them. Is there a reference someone can point me to so I can read up a little bit more please? Cheers, Marc -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

You can find a draft of the newer RPM Guide at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ which includes this information and a lot more. In particular, the %config directive is documented at Section 9.5.3. This document has been in draft for quite some time because we don't have anyone willing to step up and help maintain it... if anyone out there is interested, or knows someone who is, get in touch with us at the Docs Project! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject -- Paul W.
