Like Valery already pointed out, rpmbuild should never ever be executed as root, which means you simply cannot set file ownership during %install. File ownership should always be set in %files with %defattr/%attr. Setting the file mode is up to you. Often its suffieciently taken care of with by "make install" during %install so that only eg "%defattr(root,root,-)" is needed, and if further tweaking is needed it can be done from either %install or %files via %defattr/%attr. - Panu - _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list This mail was received via Mail-SeCure System. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
