Re: HELP | RPM install

I have a doubt on the solution you offered.As you said,i will copy the files to the target location during the %post section. But suppose in future,i want to fire an rpm -e command,it will not remove the files from this target loc right?..it will only remove the files from that standard location know? correct me if i am wrong...

You can't really do this. One way is to have the RPM install the files to a
standard location, and then, in the %post section, read the config file and
either copy or symlink the files in the defined location.
