Hello, I'm trying to create an RPM package and ran into the following problem: ---- %files %defattr(644,someuser,someuser,755) %attr(755,someuser,someuser) /opt/adirectory/sbin/myfile --- I can build the rpm and install it (/opt/adirectory does not exist). However, while /opt/adirectory/sbin/myfile will have the correct permissions and owner, /opt/adirectory/sbin will be owned by root when I expected it to be owned by someuser (because of the %defattr). If I directly specify the inclusion of the /opt/adirectory/sbin directory, then it will have the correct owner. However, I do not want to do that as I do not want the RPM to 'own' /opt/adirectory/sbin' because I have to create other RPMs that also have to install files to /opt/adirectory/sbin and RPM will refuse to install them because of conflicts (if I use the same technique). I haven't been able to find information on how to do that. Is there a way to do what I intend to do using only the spec file? Thank you, John Craws _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
