A non-root user can set the ownership permissions when creating a tarball (using --owner and --group options) and I would assume they could with cpio as well. Since the %files section only applies to binary RPMs, that solution won't do what I want. I would like the following output: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- $ rpm -qlvp dsh-2.0.1-aspen1.src.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 bryans bryans 24936 Oct 13 11:14 dsh-2.0.1.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 bryans bryans 1295 Oct 13 11:14 dsh.spec ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To be this instead: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- $ rpm -qlvp dsh-2.0.1-aspen1.src.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 24936 Oct 13 11:14 dsh-2.0.1.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1295 Oct 13 11:14 dsh.spec ----------------------------------------------------------------------- That way I don't get warnings like this during a rebuild of the SRPM as a different user: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- warning: user bryans does not exist - using root warning: group bryans does not exist - using root ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bryan -- Aspen Systems, Inc. | http://www.aspsys.com/ Production Engineer | Phone: (303)431-4606 bryans@xxxxxxxxxx | Fax: (303)431-7196 On Wed, Oct 13, 2004 at 01:33:09PM -0400, James_Martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >Non-root users can't change ownership of files by default..
