Hi,
Looking at the documentation on specifying parameters in the mapping of the RPM
spec file, it sounds as if the only way to specify a value for the dirmode of
any files in the RPM is to use the <defaultDirmode> setting:
If none of the file attributes (filemode, username, and groupname) are
populated, the
defaults (defaultFileMode, defaultUsername, defaultGroupname, and
defaultDirmode) will be used.
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/rpm-maven-plugin/map-params.html)
Is it possible to set the dirmode of an individual <mapping> element?
For example, in a war project I am configuring a mapping of the exploded WAR
file by specifying:
<mapping>
<directory>${myBaseDir}/webapp</directory>
<filemode>644</filemode>
<username>webapp</username>
<groupname>webapp</groupname>
<sources>
<source>
<location>target/${project.name}</location>
</source>
</sources>
</mapping>
I'd like to be able to also specify a <dirmode> of 755 but this does not seem
supported. Instead, I need to specify <defaultDirMode>755</defaultDirmode>.
By setting up a <mapping> for the directory
<location>target/${project.name}</location>, it seems like I am taking
advantage of the fact that all of the contents of this directory will
automatically be included. However, I've found that unless I specify a dirmode
of 755, the generated RPM defaults to having permissions of 644 for all of my
directories; which then results in no user being able to list the contents of
the directory (other than root).
Am I doing something wrong by mapping my directory this way - should I have
separate mappings for the directory entries themselves and another for the
files?
Thanks
Matt
