Description of problem: it seems that supermin does not run %pre of of rpms. This results in packages (e.g. httpd) not being usable (e.g. needed user not added). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): git How reproducible: include a rpm with %pre Actual results: %pre is not run Expected results: either run pre/post scripts or mentioned it in the docs that scripts are not run and workarounds are needed accordingly.
This is understood, and not a bug. If you want commands to run at boot then you have to add them to your appliance's init script. It will never be possible, nor desirable, to run the %pre/%post sections during appliance builds. However it would be a desirable feature for supermin to be able to extract the %pre/%post scripts from RPMs, either for the user to examine them, or even to generate an init script automatically. (debootstrap has a similar feature to this) In general I have argued that Fedora should minimize the use of %pre/%post scripts. Almost all could be banished with only a little effort.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)
