example for %post -p

[Miroslav Suchý]

For documentation purpose I am trying to come with some example for -p flag. Like:

  %post -p ldconfig

But I do not want to use ldconfig as this one, we are now removing. So I do not use it as
example as people will likely
use it.
However, I cannot come with some other example, which has sense. Do you have some
meaningful example of "-p" flag?

You can technically use -p to refer to any interpreter, but now the common
use for it would be to use the embedded Lua interpreter.

That would be invoked with -p <lua>.

That is interpreter. I.e. something like:

%post -p /usr/bin/python3
print("foo")

But I am interested in example of so called one-line post/prestcripts. E.g.

%post -p /usr/sbin/ldconfig

In the same vein, I think there are plentiful other "update cache"
triggers covering particular needs for give type of software
(or content like fonts), though these can be regulated with
macros and dedicated packaging guidelines on their own, or
likewise handled with RPM triggers these days.

Off the top of my head, naive LaTeX package RPM packaging might
want to call texhash[1].
