Building rpm to assign attributes to directory
 
Am wondering how one assigns permissions, ownership and group to a directory in the spec file for an rpm that I am trying to build.

This is what I have so far and doesn't work.

Code:
%install
install -d -o root -g sw -m 0775 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/vmguests/win10-7.01
It doesn’t work. Any suggestions on how I get those attributes onto the new directory? I had thought I could do it in %files with %attr but no go.

Thank you.

The following is an example of mine that installs Universal Media Server. I added some of my own comments to it, and got it from an openSUSE template spec file.

%description

Universal Media Server version 6.7.2 with configuration (/etc/ums/*) and ums.service for systemd based distros, this package has *only* been tested on CentOS 7 (64 bit).
But as long as Java is working, it should work on RHEL/Fedora/etc, among most other rpm software package and systemd based Linux distros.

UMS itself is installed to the /opt/ums folder, while the system-wide confioguration files for UMS, are located at /etc/ums in this package.

UMS documentation for installed package, is located at: /usr/share/doc/ums-6.7.2/ and /usr/share/doc/ums-6.7.2/html/ (for HTML UMS documentation)

You may need to configure UMS.conf located in the /etc/ums/ folder, to get UMS to work for you (eg. headless server).

# Put commands here that should be run before anything else (eg. setup system accounts, etc).

%pre
/usr/sbin/groupadd -r ums
/usr/sbin/useradd -r -d /opt/ums -s /sbin/nologin -g ums ums

%prep

# following has to be the same name as the .tar.gz source file archive, after "setup -n".

%setup -n ums

%install

rm -rf "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"

have you tried %defattr in the %files section? It has attributes for both files and directories.

%defattr(0644, root, root, 0755)

Corrado 08-20-2017 01:04 AM
I think I have figured it out. I think this is what I am after.....

Code:
%dir%attr(0644, root, root, 0755)
What do you think?

Can you post your rpm spec file?

And also you may what to have a look at this: http://ftp.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-in...irectives.html and: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US...h09s05s04.html
