Never mind. I'm stupid. The files that are actually installed by the package have correct permissions. I do an 'mkdir' in the %pre script, and that's what's messing up. Easily fixed :-) Sorry for the spam! -----Original Message----- From: rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stanley, Jon Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 12:44 PM To: rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Question on default umask I'm attempting to package the behemoth known as the Oracle client (9.2) :-) On top of having to specify Provides in the spec file because Oracle supplies binaries that cannot be executed (!), I have another more pressing problem - the umask. The umask on my target systems is set to 027, which means that since I don't specify modes in %defattr, that seems to be what RPM is using for installs of the package (which means it's not altogether useful :-) ). The question is how to set a default umask for what gets installed. Obviously some files are not executable that are in the Oracle client, so I can't just say 0755. Am I missing something here? _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
