Omnibus post-install script

Michael_Hayes · August 20, 2013, 7:46pm

I am using omnibus-ruby to create a package to install our command-line tool/gem rumm. What I would like to do is to either symlink the gem executable to /usr/local/bin or add the /opt/rumm/emedded/bin/rumm to PATH.

Is there a method in omnibus to run post-install scripts? Adding anything to 'build' step won't run when package installs. I apologize for my ignorance on how all this works...

You can put a postinst script in package_scripts_path and it should run it
automatically upon install.
