It sort of depends, but let's assume that * the package will live in /opt/foo-1.0 * the source tarball is foo-1.0.tar.gz * the source tarball will unpack itself into ./foo-1.0 If that's true, then its skeleton will look something like Name: foo Version: 1.0 Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz Prefix: /opt BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-root [... other headers, %description go here ...] %install install -d %{buildroot}%{prefix} cd %{buildroot}%{prefix} && gzip -dc %{SOURCE0} | tar xf - [... %clean and any scriptlets go here ...] %files %{prefix}/%{name}-%{version} --Paul Heinlein <heinlein@xxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
