Re: [hylafax-users] hylafax-4.1beta2-8rh6.i386.rpm missing init script

["Jon Wright" <jon.wright@spudboy.com>]

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be dense deliberately, but I'm not having any
luck with these instructions. I upgraded rpm to version 3.0.5 and attempted
the rpm2cpio command with the RH7 rpm. I rummaged high and low through /etc
and could not find the init script.

I also grabbed the hylafax-4.1beta2-8rh6.src.rpm RPM and installed it. No
sign of the init script there, either.

Again, I'm sorry for being so feeble, but I'm stumped. Can anyone nudge me a
little farther along?

Thanks so much for the help,

Jon Wright

Jon, you need at least rpm 3.0.5 to manage rpm made on rh7, is it so?
If yes then you can
rpm2cpio <hylafax_rpm_name>.i386.rpm | cpio -dim etc/rc.d/init.d/hylafax
and look into the newly created etc subdir
or
rpm -i <hylafax_rpm_name>.src.rpm and look into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
for the hylafax_rh.init script

If you don't have rpm >= 3.0.5 and don't want to install it just to get
the HylaFAX init script, you can try a dirty hack
cp <hylafax_rpm_name>.<whatever>.rpm testfile
echo -en "\003"|dd bs=1 conv=notrunc of=testfile seek=4
then use "testfile" as it was the real rpm, now hopefully with v3 format
header.

I doubt it will work; they have made binary format changes between the 2
versions so that something compiled on rh7 has almost no chance to run
on rh6, moreover the path in the binary rpm are targeted to rh7.
On the other hand, he could certainly download the rh7 src.rpm and
rebuild it on rh6.
