RPM Package question
Hi,
I have built one RPM last year. now we have another version of that RPM. in previous release we had few extra files then now. so when user upgrade it those files get deleted by RPM package. We want to retain those files.
now for workaround i thought of backing up those file during "Preinstall" section and restore in "post install" but that too doesn't work because RPM package has that functionality to compare files and delete them even after "post install".
i am sure people has encountered this issue and have fix i have one more workaround and that worked but i was wondering if there is anything simpler way to do this using functionality of RPM.
Its now urgent foe me.
Thanks, Ajay

NAME
yum-builddep - install missing dependencies for building an RPM package
SYNOPSIS
yum-builddep package
DESCRIPTION
yum-builddep is a program which installs the RPMs needed to build the specified package. The source RPM for the specified package must be
available in a Yum repository (which will be automatically enabled, if it is disabled) or it can be a local source RPM file.
EXAMPLES

FILES
As yum-builddep uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf

/var/cache/yum/
