Subject: [PATCH] install-info: Use create-tmp-then-rename pattern

rpm-ostree uses
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/blob/master/man/rofiles-fuse.xml
when running `%post` scripts, to avoid corruption of the underlying
hardlink store.

Switch to that pattern to be compatible.

Comment 1 Vitezslav Crhonek 2016-06-22 07:58:42 UTC
I would add free (dirfile_tmp) at the end, otherwise the patch looks fine, I'll apply it. Thanks.

Comment 2 Colin Walters 2016-06-22 12:56:30 UTC
Yep, sorry - I had the free() in a version of this patch, but I lost it when juggling multiple branches.  Thanks for the review!
