[SOLVED] rpm spec help

bradvan · 09-11-2014, 05:05 AM

I'm very new at writing rpm spec files. I have one rpm that installs a version of tomcat in a specified directory. That works as expected. I'm trying to make a new rpm to replace the webdav directory with the files from the project. What I'd like to do is:

Code:

cd /mydir/apps/tomcat
rm -r webapps
tar xzfpPz ${RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
chown -R myid:mygroup webapps

I'm just not sure how to put the cd and rm into spec syntax.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Now are you trying to build and rpm or a tar.gz, or an rpm that contains a tar.gz?

I have a gzip'd tar file of the projects webapps directory. I want to build an rpm that will go in to a new system, after I have installed tomcat, and delete the stock webapps directory and replace it with the contents of the tar file.

I changed my tomcat rpm setup to have appBase point to a location outside of the tomcat structure. I then created the web page rpm to extract to this new location. This works.
