[jira] Created: (MOJO-1058) <filemode> is used for directories

<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>.

Brett Okken commented on MOJO-1058:
-----------------------------------

Is this indirectly fixed by MOJO-931 (at least partially)?

In the case you have given, I believe the .spec would have:
%attr(644,root,root) /path/foo/bar.txt

A <dirmode> could potentially work, however having an second mapping just for the directory to specify username, groupname, and filemode for the directory explicitly does not seem terribly onerous.

Brett Okken closed MOJO-1058.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I am closing this as there is a valid way to achieve the desired outcome.
