Problem with %attr/%defattr

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear All,

I had built some RPMs for our product on RHEL4  ( rpm ver= rpm-4.3.3-26 ). Now I'm migrating these rpms to RHEL6 ( rpm ver = rpm-4.8.0-16 ).

One of the rpms has files owned by different users.

Eg. In qmail queue, "queue/remote" folder is owned by "qmails" user while "queue/todo" folder is owned by "qmailq" user.

The qmail makefile creates the files with appropriate permissions and ownerships. There is no code to set the permissions/ownership in spec file.

In RHEL4, rpm was automatically taking the file permissions set on the files during the build/compile phase. But in RHEL6, it is changing the ownership to root.root.

My files section is :

%files
/var/qmail/bin
/var/qmail/boot
%config(noreplace) /var/qmail/control
/var/qmail/doc
/var/qmail/log
/var/qmail/man
%config(noreplace) /var/qmail/queue
/var/qmail/users
/var/qmail/rc


After searching the net, I tried using %defattr(-,-,-,-) macro at global level and the %attr(-,-,-) macro per entry in the %files section. But to no avail.

Can anybody point me in the right direction ?

Thanks for all the help in advance.
Amol.
