Default AIX packaging issue (LPP)
Hi,

So far, I have not found a way how to find out the following from
within a pre_i script :

a) If the fileset is that is currently being installed, is already
installed
b) If it is already installed, with what version

It seems that as soon as the pre_i script is executed, the ODM (both
product and lpp repositories) is already updated with the new version
of the fileset.
Hopefully anyone can help me out in this one.

Thanks!


Mark

Have you considered using the pre_rm script instead
of pre_i for those tests? See the section titled
'Processing for the Apply Operation' at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...cNode=int_9268
and you will see that the pre_rm comes early in the
processing order. And the section titled
'Optional Executable Files Contained in the liblpp.a File'
at that same URL implies the pre_rm happens before
the pre_i.

What is the reason for that requirement ?
