Hi, I have a custom rpm for our application. The problem is that it grew old and fat. It's about 30 MB. So i would like to split it into two parts. One big part that almost never changes and one smaller part that is changed more frequently. But i don't know how to write the spec file so a simple yum update will install both packages and it won't create any problems.
Any suggestions?
Tried sending this a while ago, but looks like mailman blocked it?

A few options here, create a %{name} .spec with:
# This is part one, or the main component %description %files ...
%package part_two Requires: %{name} ... %description part_two Smaller part of %{name} %files part_two ...
Check an example out, one I was using recently to build another was: https://git.icinga.org/?p=icinga-core.git;a=blob_plain;f=icinga.spec;hb=HEAD
