Looks like there isn't anyway to build an RPM which will check
dependencies for Fedora and Centos separately. I thought the spec file
would add the logic but it is purely for build time only. Options :-
1. Build a separate RPM for Fedora on Centos
(http://www.openfusion.net/linux/mocking_rpms)
yum install zendto_fedora
2. Remove the clamd dependency and check at end of install in %post and
print a warning message.
<cut>
service crond reload
if [ $1 = 1 ]; then
# We are being installed, not upgraded (that would be 2)
if [ -r /etc/fedora-release ]; then
if [ \! -r /usr/sbin/clamd ]
then
echo
echo "WARNING: clamav-server is not installed, please install
now"
fi
else
if [ \! -r /usr/sbin/clamd ]; then
echo
echo "WARNING: clamd is not installed, please install now"
fi
fi
echo
echo Now add a new website to your Apache configuration with the
echo DocumentRoot set to "/opt/zendto/www/".
echo
echo For technical support, please go to www.zendto.com.
echo
fi
if [ $1 = 2 ]; then
# We are being upgraded
echo
echo "Please reload Apache to pick up an new changes otherwise you
may see errors as the old versions of software will not be available"
echo
fi
%preun
</cut>
3. Users have to build there own on Fedora
I'm happy to build my own.
Thanks, John.
