https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1003962 Bug ID: 1003962 Summary: RPM scriptlet -p option not documented Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: rpm-guide Assignee: bcotton+fedora(a)gmail.com Reporter: daniel.neuberger(a)gmail.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: bcotton+fedora(a)gmail.com, pkovar(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co The fedora RPM guide does not document the -p option that can be passed to the RPM scriptlets. It should probably be located here http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/R..., but I looked through the entire guide and couldn't find it. The only only place I could find it documented is here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets, but what it says is wrong. It says: "The basic syntax is similar to the %build, %install, and other sections of the rpm spec file. The scripts support a special flag, -p which allows the scriptlet to invoke a single program directly rather than having to spawn a shell to invoke the programs. (ie: %post -p /sbin/ldconfig)" A more accurate description is: "The basic syntax is similar to the %build, %install, and other sections of the rpm spec file. The scripts support a special flag, -p which specifies the interPreter that should be used to run the script (the default is /bin/sh). Sometimes the -p option is used with no body in order to run a single command directly rather than having to spawn a shell to invoke the programs (i.e. %post -p /sbin/ldconfig). Note that this form requires that there be nothing but white space (not even comments) until the next section begins." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
