OK, thanks, though it sounds as if there's enough in recent rpm to kludge it, and it's not likely to get much interest. > On the flip side, because these facilities haven't existed for so long > and the RPM ecosystem largely rejected interactive script hooks in > RPMs, most packages ship with "working defaults" and are trivially > reconfigurable through external automation tools, which is why mass > provisioning and configuration management systems work so well for RPM > based systems. OK, but the application isn't specifically mass provisioning and configuration. It needs to be applicable to somewhat-random, more-or-less autonomous existing installations which are already expected to pull (rather problematically-written) packages from a "local" repository. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/7NL6ZKIP6LHCHB6XHXH5BKLC5CLIVKCG/
