installing a single rpm multiple times on one server -
hello , ahead of time answers can provide question.
i have rpm wrapper around exploded war. on server run
rpm -i myrpm.rpm this works fine , right world. run rpm again --relocate trigger create identical install. ideally have install application new entry in rpm data base incremented instance or of nature.
i can force install happen running
rpm -i --force --relocate oldpath=newpath myrpm.rpm the problem here old version no longer managed rpm. there can make work way want?
no. rpm maintains database of files, installed rpms etc. way db designed, file (normally) can belong 1 rpm , rpm have 1 copy of file. i.e., cannot track multiple copies of @ multiple locations (--relocate).
in general, relocating rpms bad idea - if rely on application reconsider.
see this: http://rpm.org/wiki/packagerdocs/multipleversions ideas on how can handle this.
