setting file permissons

[sushant pradhan]

Hi, 

I want to copy a script to the target machine with file permissions '-rwxr-xr-x'. The permissions are set to '755' in the source code repo, but YADT does not respect the original file permissions but copies the file with permissions '-rw-r--r--'. How do I make sure that YADT sets the given file permissions at the target machine?

Thanks,

Sushant

Hey Sushant,

That's correct, the original file permissions are not preserved by the yadt-config-rpm-maker (for security reasons, among others) and you have to explicitly set them if you don't want the "sane default".

This is done like so: 

Example : you want to change the permissions of /foo/bar

Your source must contain two files :

• /foo/bar
• /foo/bar.%attr

The contents of  /foo/bar.%attr file must respect the syntax of the %attr directive from RPM, e.G. 

a content of 

755,-,- 

will result in 

-rwxr-xr-x

for the file.

Please refer to the documentation at http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-specref-files-list-directives.html for more information about %attr and %defattr. 

Regards,

max

Hi max,

While I am trying to follow the steps as mentioned by you, I get the below error

Processed 1 hosts in 0 seconds
ERROR: At least one host has a configuration error:

devweb02: error: Missing '(' in %attr 
devweb02: error: Missing '(' in %attr 
devweb02:

devweb02: RPM build errors:

devweb02: /home/yadt/src/yadt.config-rpm/hooks/config_rpm_maker: ERROR: Could not build RPM for host 'devweb02'

NOTICE:
Even though your commit as been accepted by the SVN server, due to the
errors mentioned above _no_ RPMs have been created.

Please fix the issues first and trigger the RPM creation with a dummy commit.

My dir struct

-rw-r--r--  1 sush  wheel    0 Mar  7 15:03 foo

-rw-r--r--  1 sush  wheel   16 Mar  7 16:58 foo.%attr

Contents of foo.%attr 

$ cat foo.%attr 

755,xvid,xvid

Also tried with

$ cat foo.%attr 

(755,xvid,xvid)

Could you please help me in figuring out where am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Sushant

Hi,

both variants you tried work for me.
Is foo an empty folder? Note that for empty folders, you need to put a
foo.%dir file beneath it and use foo.%defattr (and there you'd set
the dir-permissions).
