Is there any way to build the file structure of the target installation without manually making directories in rpm spec file?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Do rpms have the ability to build the file structure of the target installation without manually making directories and copying files from the build directory in the %install script.
  • In Solaris and HP-UX have this capability with the psf files (in those, the file list is what the package manager uses to build the directory structure of the installation).
  • Example from an HP psf file:
file -o root -g sys -m 0500 -t s /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/MSB_UNIX_WRAPPER.ksh /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/SWHPMSB_UNIX_WRAPPER.ksh
file -o root -g sys -m 0500 -t s /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/MSBCopyData.pl /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/SWHPMSBCopyData.pl
file -o root -g sys -m 0500 -t s /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/MSBcontext.pl /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/SWHPMSBcontext.pl
file -o root -g sys -m 0500 -t s /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/MSBregister.pl /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/SWHPMSBregister.pl
file -o root -g sys -m 0500 -t s /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/MSBregister.pl /opt/$BASELINE_YEAR/bin/SWHPMSBregister.ksh
