Using the RPM Maven plugin I have found which I'm not sure is, bugs, missing features or wrong configuration.
Setting prefix is useless. I cannot use the defined RPM macros in mapping locations. %_prefix /usr %_exec_prefix %{_prefix} %_bindir %{_exec_prefix}/bin If I use the RPM macro %{_bindir} the plugin will use /usr as prefix, regardless of what I have defined as prefix. I have even tried adding a defined statement setting the value of _prefix. As you can see from the maven output it creates the tmp-buildroot under /usr and not /opt/company and thus fails because it cannot find anything under /buildroot/opt/company. *My configuration* <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>rpm-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1-alpha-2</version> <configuration> <defineStatements> <defineStatement>_apacheconf %{_sysconfdir}/apache2/conf.d</defineStatement> <defineStatement>_prefix /opt/company</defineStatement> </defineStatements> <summary>My App Summary</summary> <version>${project.version}</version> <vendor>Company AS</vendor> <group>Productivity/Scientific/Astronomy</group> <url>http://www.company.com/</url> <packager>${user.name}</packager> <prefix>/opt/company</prefix> <needarch>noarch</needarch> <changelogFile>ChangeLog</changelogFile> <requires> <require>jdk</require> </requires> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>gui</id> <goals> <goal>attached-rpm</goal> </goals> <configuration> <name>${project.artifactId}</name> <mappings> <mapping> <directory>%{_bindir}</directory> <filemode>-</filemode> <username>root</username> <groupname>root</groupname> <sources> <source> <location>src/main/scripts/MyApp.sh</location> </source> </sources> </mapping> </mappings> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> *Maven output* [INFO] --- rpm-maven-plugin:2.1-alpha-2:attached-rpm (gui) @ myApp --- [WARNING] rpm version string truncated to 2.4.0 [INFO] Creating directory /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp [INFO] Creating directory /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/BUILD [INFO] Creating directory /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/RPMS [INFO] Creating directory /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/SOURCES [INFO] Creating directory /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/SPECS [INFO] Creating directory /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/SRPMS [INFO] Creating directory /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/tmp-buildroot [INFO] Creating directory /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/buildroot [INFO] Copying files to /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/tmp-buildroot/usr/bin [INFO] Creating spec file /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/SPECS/myApp.spec [INFO] Building target platforms: noarch-suse-linux [INFO] Building target noarch-suse-linux [INFO] Running(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.oIwFvD [WARNING] + umask 022 [WARNING] + cd /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/BUILD [WARNING] + '[' -e /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/buildroot ']' [WARNING] + mv /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/tmp-buildroot/opt /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/tmp-buildroot/usr /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/buildroot [WARNING] + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress [WARNING] + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-suse [INFO] Processing files: myApp-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT20130314121500.noarch [WARNING] error: File not found: /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/buildroot/opt/company/bin [INFO] Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/buildroot [WARNING] error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: [INFO] [WARNING] /usr/bin/MyApp.sh [INFO] [WARNING] File not found: /home/user/workspace/myApp/target/rpm/myApp/buildroot/opt/company/bin -- View this message in context: http://mojo.10943.n7.nabble.com/RPM-Maven-Plugin-not-using-defined-prefix-tp39187.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
