Sorry for late reply (came online after pongal holidays :P ). I think,there is some misunderstanding on my question . May be I should be more clearer.I have written an rpm spec file and built binary rpm using "rpmbuild" and installing this rpm (-i) works well.<br>
Now I want to provide rpm -U option - so that user can upgrade to next version easily (Currently user have to use rpm -e and rpm -i <new-version>). Google gave me this <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-rpm2/" target="_blank">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-rpm2/</a> but I'm looking for more info/links -on how to create upgradable packages.(writting rpm spec file that supports rpm -U )<br>
