The new blender-2.79 has a compatibility problem with the previous version. Do I simply use cat message file or echo in %postin to output a warning message or is there another way?

I think the notifications implemented via /var/adm/update-messages are a good fit. See mariadb for an example.

Andreas.

That's most probably the most complicated %post I've ever come across. So I create the message in %{_localstatedir}/adm/update-messages/%{name}-%{version}-%{release} use cat to display it %ghost it and delete it? Thanks Dave P

Perhaps it is a bit simplier than mariadb you can have a look at https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/security:netfilter/shorewall/ shorewall.spec?expand=1 pretrans postrans and files. It allow me to warn user when major release is done as the 4x to 5x version so people remember to run the upgrade. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
