Are there any RPM macros one should use when packaging software installed with a prefix /opt/foo?
Just don't package stuff in /opt please. Depending on how one looks at it, it was either a misguided idea from the past or we can't handle it properly. In any case nowadays installing to /opt breaks expectations wrt rollbacks etc. So if you want your software to be managed by rpm as proper package you need to install it in /usr. If you can't follow the FHS structure there but need to bundle everything in one directory use a subdirectory of /usr/lib. Keep in mind that /usr is considered read-only after rpm is done updating it's DB after installation. So there are still some basic quality standards to follow for the software. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
