Once upon a time, James Olin Oden <james.oden@xxxxxxxxx> said: > Your correct the %defattr in you %files will not affect the -f file's files. That is not true. I've got several perl RPMs built with the following in the spec file (I know this isn't 100% correct; I plan to fix it when I get some round tuits): %define filelist %{perlname}-%{version}-filelist [ -x %{_libdir}/rpm/brp-compress ] && %{_libdir}/rpm/brp-compress find %{buildroot}%{_prefix} -type f -print |\ perl -pe 's!%{buildroot}!!g' > %{filelist} %files -f %{filelist} %defattr (-, root, root) %doc README I can build an RPM as a non-root user, and the files properly get the root/root defattr applied. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
