Re: Parameter passing between %pre and %post section

["Lis Maria" <lismariain gmail com>]

Hi,

 

Thanks for your mail.

 

I am basically trying to set a flag in the %pre section which is used in the %post section to perform some activities.

Currently I have writtent the entry to a temporary file and am reading that file in the %post section. This, I understand is not an elegant one. is there someway through which we cans etup a macro in the pre section and access it elsewhere/

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Regards

As you have discovered that won't work.  The %pre and %post sections
are two different scripts each executed at different stages in the
install process.  Because they are different scripts any variables set
in one won't be available in the other.

Not directly no.

Could you say a few words about what you are trying to do?
