Description

It would be quite useful if all of the rpm maven plugin scriptlet sections could gain the -p special flag support which allows the scriptlet to invoke a single program directly rather than having to spawn a shell to invoke the programs (ie: %post -p /bin/perl).

I have not used the -p option before. Is it used in addition to the "free text" script?

Using the example you gave:

%post -p /bin/perl
some perl scripting voodoo

Or are they mutually exclusive?

I am working on changes now assuming that both the "program" and the "script" can be used in conjunction.

the current (and default) behaviour of the scriptlets is to assume a -p /bin/sh option.

allowing to specify the program option accordingly you would indeed be able to say:
%post -p /usr/bin/perl
print "I'm in postinstall!\n";

where the perl payload can be specified either inside the <postinstall> element or in the file referenced by <postinstallScript> element.

this is the same trick allowed in %pre, %preun, %postun, %trigger

{in,un,postun}

, %pretrans and %posttrans.

if rpm has been compiled with the LUA embedded interpreter support:
http://www.rpm.org/wiki/PackagerDocs/RpmLua
it would be possible to have scriptlets like this one

%pre -p <lua>
print("Hello from Lua")
