One more question: How come when I list the following directory under %files: /usr/local/foo RPM starts looking for those files under the $RPM_BUILD_DIR? Because of this, I have actually had to modify my script to build everything in $RPM_BUILD_DIR/usr/local/foo and then copy it all over to /usr/local/foo at the end of $install. That can't be correct. -----Original Message----- From: rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Sherwin Sent: Monday, September 01, 2008 1:05 AM To: RPM Package Manager Subject: RE: File listed twice That makes sense.

List only the top-level files and directories your package should own. For example, list %{_datadir}/yourapp/ as a directory, not all its contents. That way your package will own the directory *and* the contents. List files in system directories (e.g., %{_bindir}/yourapp) individually. This technique properly delegates file/directory ownership.
