Verification flags
RPM files allow you to verify the integrity if an installed packages using
rpm -V
(also see: http://ftp.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-verify.html).
By default all payload entry (file, directory) attributes will be verified.
However it is possible to manually specify which attributes will be verified, on
a per entry basis. This is possible by using the <verify>
element in the entry:
<entry>
…
<verify>
<user>true</user>
<group>true</group>
<fileDigest>false</fileDigest>
<mode>true</mode>
…
</verify>
</entry>
In this example the following attributes will be checked: user, group, file mode.
Note: Only the flags listed and having the value true
will be checked.
Omitted entries will not be checked!
Note: The verify structure will be applied atomically. It is not possible to override flags from another rule.
