<filemode> is used for directories
----------------------------------

                 Key: MOJO-1058
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-1058
             Project: Mojo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: rpm
            Reporter: Jürgen Hermann


A mapping like this:
            <mapping>
              <directory>/path/foo</directory>
              <username>root</username>
              <groupname>root</groupname>
              <filemode>644</filemode>
              <sources>
                <source>bar.txt</source>
              </sources>
            </mapping>
leads to this in the generated .spec:
%attr(644,root,root) /path/foo

Problem here is that the "foo" directory gets the filemode too, as do any 
subdirectories, resulting in unbrowsable directory structures.

The *workaround* for the root dir is to repeat the mapping w/o a source section 
and a filemode of 755 (which is tedious at best).

A proper solution would be to use %attr(-,u,g) and set the permissions 
dynamically while copying into the target (build-stage) directory, which would 
also work for any subdirs. Also, there should be a <dirmode> in addition to 
<filemode>.
