RPM

Update scriptlets

Registered by Jeff Johnson

We agreed to introduce two new scriptlets called %preup and %postup. These will be called when updating the package (%preun, %postun, %pre and %post will not be run in this case). This is a way how to fix the broken uninstall scriptlets and one doesn’t have to do the weird if [ "$1" = "0" ]; stuff in the scriptlets anymore to detect whether the operation is upgrade or uninstall.
