Could you provide an example of why this might be useful? Do you
programmatically change mount points enough for this?
I have applications that need mounts points. I need to deploy to every server. I'd
like to do this in RPM easily not in chef or puppet or augtool.

Could you elaborate a bit on this one as well please?
My IT guys will do a yum update before they remove the default repo files an we'll get
Internet installed RPMs on our systems. Which is a no-no for us. We are required to only
use the local repo which may be behind the latest on the net but that's what's
been tested with the apps.

I've not found oracle overly willing to help in most aspects. In most
cases they've been condescending and arrogant.
We still need to do the best we can to make it easy.
These are the RPMs that we have build. I think most are home grown but there is no need
for every company to repeat this mess.
apr-util-oracle
oracle-instantclient11.2-httpd
oracle-instantclient11.2-wrapper
oracle-instantclient11.2-bashrc
oracle-instantclient11.2-ldconfig

Would there be an equivalent -off for folks who wish to manually
tinker
prior to enabling?
yum erase httpd-on; turns it off it's just a wrapper package...
but yum install httpd; service httpd start; would still work.
I'm not convinced that yum should be in the business of
enabling/disabling services like this.
"yum" would not be. The spec "post" would actually "do" it.
I think if we raise the bar we can start building mansions and the end application only
need to build a room. If we raise the bar far enough there's no stopping us.
Thanks,
Mike
