Rpm

[anishnath]

i'm having a spec file task is to build the rpm package with the appripriate version number, the problem what i'm facling is while the building up the source code if the version number changes rpm -U is not upgarding instead of installing it as a new one.
For ex: rpm -qa | grep test
test-4.2-01.i386

rpm -Uvvh test-4.2-02.i386

rpm -qa | grep test
it shows the both

test-4.2-01.i386
test-4.2-02.i386

how do you set the version number?
please post the output of "rpm -qi test-4.2 test-4.1" and the spec file

[anishnath]

in the spec file i'm specifyin the version number
%define version 4.2
%define release 01
Version: %{version}
Release: %{release}
Summary: Test
Name: test
License: test
Group: Applications/System
Distribution: test 4.2
Vendor: test
Prefix: /opt/test
Prefix: /var/test
# turn off auto dependancy checking
AutoReqProv: no

In general if we perform rpm -U the earlier version will be deleted and new one get updated ?

yes with rpm -U the earlier version is deleted. For same reason rpm sees the packages as different, look at the output of rpm -qi for the differences between the two packages. The spec seams ok to me
