setting environment variables in spec file

[Lakshmi V <lakshmi granger gmail com>]

Hi,

I wanted to update my PATH and add new ENVIRONMENT variables in my RPM. I tried doing the following

 

1) export TEST="my value"

or

2) export TEST='myvalue'

 in %post section. It didnt give any error while installing, but nothing was set. I couldnt see any new TEST environment variable at all.

 

What could be possibly wrong ? Am I missing something or am I doing it in the wrong way ?

 

Thanks

Lakshmi
