Not sure if I understand your question right, but: RPM just takes the file type as it appears in the buildroot (if it's a character special file or symlink in the buildroot, it is a character special file or symlink in the final package, for example) and you can override permissions and owner/group in the %files section, if you want. AFAIK it is not possible to completely override a file type, if it does not appear as such in the buildroot. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
