Re: when using --prefix tag

[Mark Hatle <fray mvista com>]

The script chunk and the shell variable (from what I understand) will 
work in all four major script types, pre, post, preun and postun.  (I 
could be wrong about the preun and postun.. you'd have to try that.)

So if I understand things right, you would modify the sourceable script 
in a %post to match the --prefix.  Then it's the users responsiblity to 
source that script at "run time".

--Mark
