There is no pre script that +does anything to these folders. + +However, the /{lib,bin} etc folders *are* symlinks in the package. There +is a pre-transaction lua script that creates the /usr/blah folders and +the corresponding symlinks early because we cannot guarentee that +filesystem will be the first package actually physically installed in +the transaction and thus /bin or /lib etc. may be implicitly created as +directories by other package installation in the same transaction. So +the lua script just pre-empts what the package will do but it ensures it +happens at the start of the transaction. + +I'm not sure if that answers your question or not because the comments +in the spec file are quite clear about the purpose so they should have +cleared up any confusion you may have had. + +So if I've not grasped what you are asking properly, please clarify and +I'll try again :) + +Col + + + +-- + +Colin Guthrie +colin(at)mageia.org +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited <A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A> +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A> + PulseAudio Hacker <A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A> + Trac Hacker <A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="017585.html">[Mageia-dev] ANNOUNCE: The /usr move cometh! <---- Instructions +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="017587.html">[Mageia-dev] ANNOUNCE: The /usr move cometh! <---- Instructions +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#17586">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#17586">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#17586">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#17586">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
