I am new to rpm building and trying to do the right thing. I want to build an rpm from a set of files which comes with a Makefile install target that sets ownership and permissions differently for different files. When executing make install (as root) everything is ok, but trying to build the rpm as non-root fails with "cannot change ownership of `/var/tmp/...' : Operation not permitted" The Makefile has (simplified version) install: $(INSTALL) -d $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR) #any group $(INSTALL) -m 755 file01 $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR) $(INSTALL) -m 644 file02 $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR) #wheel group $(INSTALL) -m 750 -g wheel file03 $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR) #aaa group $(INSTALL) -m 750 -g aaa file04 $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR) #bbb group $(INSTALL) -m 750 -g bbb file05 $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR) The spec file has: %install make DESTDIR=%buildroot/ install Obviously I'm overlooking something. I am sure this is not that unusual. BTW, and I know I should not do it, if I build the rpm as root, the permissions are fine, but all files are root:root. -Bob _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
