I realize it is intentional that the %setup macro extracts files and then chown/chmod's the extracted files. Is there a way around this?
I need to create an rpm of files (no compile, make install,etc). There are a large number of files with very disparate owner/group/perms.
Creating a bunch of %file statements to create external file lists with sed's is not my preference. If I could only:
tar --atime-preserve --preserve-permissions --same-owner file.tar
that would quick and easy.
Could I create a macro for chown/chmod to point to echo or some other harmless command within the spec file and trick rpmbuild?
When i package proprietary appl i execute this script (http://devzero2000.pastebin.com/f16cf0404) for filling the manifest on every target package directory - but it is simple to change it for use with a file list - and in the %file section use
%file -f manifest.list.
This is imho preferable because your solution and the trick that you want work only if you build the package as the root user - a normal user can't in %install set file/dir ownership to other user and this in general is required by the package. And using the root user for build is no good. But IMHO.

%file -f manifest.list.
