Another aftermath of releaseparty.
We needed a mechanism to easily overwrite files from upstream fedora,
while not maintaining the packages ourselves. Theres no way to do that
before, but its possible now !
https://dev.inigo-tech.com/svn/izhar/YumOverwrite/trunk/
Installing
svn co
https://dev.inigo-tech.com/svn/izhar/YumOverwrite/trunk/ YumOverwrite
tar cvjf YumOverwrite.tar.bz2 YumOverwrite
rpmbuild -tb YumOverwrite.tar.bz2
rpm -ivh path/to/generated/rpm
Usage:
create a configuration in /etc/sysconfig/overwrite.d/ with a name that
ends with .cfg (eg: pidginicon.cfg)
config format:
[packagename]
/path/to/replacement/file/or/folder=/path/to/original/file/or/folder
packagename is the rpm package you want to overwrite . eg: pidgin
Once you've created that, simply yum install packagename (or reinstall) ..
and the plugin will automatically replace the original with your replacement
p/s: this is useful if you guys wanna create an icon rpm package :D
if anybody have patches or ideas, feel free to spam .. of course, code
worth more than ideas :P
