Get the command in the rpm spec

[Zheng, Wendy]

Yes, Panu's right.

The spec file I pasted is a simple example which only installs one script. But every time I build a new version, I will make some changes in the file software.sh. So if I remove the version# in the installation path, the "rpm -i" command will fails because of conflict file if a previous version already installed.

Thanks,
Wendy

When a file is identical between two (or more) packages it doesn't cause a conflict, its simply shared among those packages and only removed when the last package owning it is removed.
