Panu,
Thanks! for the reply. I removed the %dir , but still after uninstall
the directory is removed. Any other option i can specify in spec file
to prevent from install directory getting deleted.
Thanks
Manga Padmaja.

Hi,
When i uninstall rpm , it uninstalls rpm package and also deletes the
directory (%prefix value) where rpm was installed. Is there any
option i can configure, so that only rpm is uninstalled but directory
created during install remains .
Spec file contains:
%files
%defattr(755, root, root)
%dir %{_prefix}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You're telling rpm the packages owns that directory, thus it'll get
removed when the rpm is uninstalled. Leave it out and rpm won't remove
the dir on uninstall but generally speaking packages should own all
the directories they create.
