The behaviour has changed between rpm 4.9 and 4.10 as I could figure out by installing the old versions from opensuse. If you want to keep using "install -o .. -g .." to avoid naming all files explicitely in %files, you can use sth. like find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -not -type d -printf '%%attr(%m,%u,%g,%m) "/%P"\n' >files.list %files -f files.list cu, Frank Frank Steiner wrote:
Hi, when I started with my own spec files many years ago I always used lines like install -o mysql -g mysql -m 700 blabla $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/... and I'm pretty sure that the file blabla belonged to mysql:mysql after installation of the rpm, although it was not mentioned in %files with any attr. Actually, we always collect the list of files with a find command and use "%files -f files.list", so attr/defattr is never used. With a new RPM I wrote recently I used install lines with owner and group like above, but all files belong to root:root after installation and I couldn't find any way to change that except using attr/defattr in %files. Has this behaviour changed at some time in the past? Or is my remembrance just wrong? cu, Frank
