By the time the %pre scriptlet is running, the %defattr in the %files section is long since set. You could use chgrp in %post to fix up the group ownership of the files, which will make rpm complain if you run --verify against this package. There's probably a better way to handle this if you're willing and able to change more than just this one package.

Re: RPM Spec File - %define into %pre section
Ok, I´m try to do that, but the variables that are defined on the top of
spec file will be avaliable for the %post section? How can I access then on
the %post section?
*e.g:*
*%post
chgrp oracle: %{script_path}
*

In a case like the example above, %{script_path} will be expanded by
rpm when the %post scriptlet is run.
If you are thinking more of how to get the current oracle group for
use in %post, it might be something like this:
%post
oracle_group=$(groups oracle | awk -F : '{print $2}' |awk '{print $1}')
chmod $oracle_group %{script_path}
Still, I'd look to avoid needing to do this entirely.
