[webmin-l] change install (and update) from rpm to tar.gz

From: Marcos R. <we...@al...> - 2006-07-16 02:44:36

I'm sure it was mentioned some time ago... but I can not find it :(

How can I change Webmin behavior in such a way that it will treat the 
upgrade as one from a tar.gz install instead of one from an RPM install??? 
(I inherit the server where Webmin was installed from RPM).

TIA

Cheers!
Marcos

Just edit the file /usr/libexec/webmin/install-type, and delete the rpm
line so that it is empty.
