The Joy of Penguins : Linux System Administration

Linux System Administration

Software Management with RPM

RPM - Verifying

Example : Imagine I have changed the user and group of tuxracer from root to mlevan:

            [root@localhost bin]# ls -l tux*
            -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 118668 Nov 9 2004 tuxpaint
            -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   1929 Nov 9 2004 tuxpaint-import
            -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 294948 Sep 21 2004 tuxracer

            [root@localhost bin]# chown mlevan tuxracer
            [root@localhost bin]# chgrp mlevan tuxracer

When we now verify the package, we can see that these have changed from the install:

[root@localhost bin]# rpm -V tuxracer
.....UG. /usr/bin/tuxracer

Notice that fields 7 and 8 are marked as changed.
