Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build a package, and one of the things it should do when
installed or removed is to update /etc/system.
To accomplish this, I've created a package class called 'etcsystem' and
the i.etcsystem and r.etcsystem files. Furthermore, /etc/system is
listed as file type 'e etcsystem /etc/system 0644 root sys' in the pkgmap.
The i.etcsystem works perfectly. However, when I try to remove my
package, r.etcsystem does not work. r.etcsystem gets called only once,
and for some reason pkgrm does not give it the pathname of /etc/system
to remove the changes. The documentation however states that it should:
+ The following list describes the system actions that occur when a
+ class is removed:
+ The pkgrm command creates a list of installed path names that belong
+ to the indicated class. Path names referenced byG another package are
+ excluded from the list unless their file type is e (meaning the file
+ should be edited upon installation or removal).
(/etc/system is referenced by SUNWcsr, but both are type e, class
etcsystem).
+ If there is a class action script, the script is executed.
+ The pkgrm command invokes the class action script with standard input
+ for the script containing the list (of pathnames)
Because pkgrm does -not- provide /etc/system as a filename on the
standard input of r.etcsystem, the awk-code inside the while-loop
doesn't get called (see below).
My prototype-file:
e etcsystem /etc/system=system 0644 root sys
i ./i.etcsystem
i ./r.etcsystem
My pkginfo-file contains:
CLASSES=none etcsystem
Here is the output from pkgrm -v:
## Verifying package dependencies.
## Processing package information.
## Removing pathnames in class <etcsystem>
/etc/system <shared pathname not removed>
+ read DST
## Removing pathnames in class <none>
I find the <shared pathname not removed> a bit suspect because it should
be processed nevertheless because it is a shared editable file.
According to /var/sadm/install/contents:
/etc/system e etcsystem 0644 root sys 244 23096 1082119452 SUNWcsr SARAtsm
And r.etcsystem contains this:
while read DST
do
awk \
"/^${MARK}/{print (substr( \$0, length(\"${MARK}\")+1));next}
/^${START}/,/^${STOP}/{next}{print}" <${DST} >${DST}.new
mv ${DST}.new ${DST}
done
Does anyone have any idea why this is not working? The same procedure
works great for e.g. crontabs and other classes I wrote.
Regards, Paul Boven.
