Using rpm to patch several conf files

["Marcelo Mercio Dandrea" <marcdan terra com br>]

 

        Hello all,

 

        Sorry if this a newbie question, Im a begginer on using RPMs.. I scanned the list archives but wasnt able to find information regarding it. Im trying to create a rpm to automatically patch several conf files...  On my rpm, I have the "original" conf file as it is installed by its package and a patch file to be applied. I can build and install the RPM with no problem at all, but the install part only works with the --force option, since I modify files referred by other packages... (file X from install of Y conflicts with file from package Z). Is there a way to avoid this ? Am I trying to use RPMs in a way it wasnt supposed to be used ?

 

                                                                                                Thanks in advance for any help,

 

                                                                                                        Marcelo
