It's actually quite simple (note: I do not recommend this, it's against all RPM filosophy, I repeat: not recommended!) (although sometimes unavoidable ;-)) The trick is to not "make" anything during the "build" stage. Put your files into a tarball to be used as "source tarball". During the "install" stage simply copy these files to the appropriate locations in your build root (assuming you use one). Then mark these files as %files and voila. I use it for rpms that consist solely of config files etc. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
