Issue
I have a third party rpm (rabbitmq-server-3.5.4-noarch.rpm) and I need to make some text changes on a static-file (a text file) in this rpm as per my organization policy. I need to make changes before installing it on my server. Could someone guide me to do this.
I tried rpm2cpio command but was only able to see the contents displayed on the console, but I need to make the changes to the text inside the rpm.
Solution
afaik there is no way to patch an rpm as such. I would recommend to:
- get the source rpm (.src.rpm)
- install the source rpm
- patch your license text file
- rebuild a new rpm (preferably with another version number)
