I am building an rpm package that includes a 3PP software plus other configuration files. When I don't include the configuration files, the rpm builds properly but when I include the configuration files, the rpm build but installation of the 3PP software in the lab fails. Here is a snapshot of my pom.xml:
<properties>
<rpm-root>/opt</rpm-root>
<comp-name>mycompany</comp-name>
<install-path>mgmt</install-path>
</properties>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>rpm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<mappings>
<mapping>
<directory>${rpm-root}</directory>
<configuration>true</configuration>
<sources>
<source>
<location>src/main/binary</location>
</source>
</sources>
</mapping>
<mapping>
<directory>${rpm-root}/${comp-name}/${install-path}/config</directory>
<directoryIncluded>false</directoryIncluded>
<configuration>true</configuration>
<sources>
<source>
<location>src/main/config</location>
</source>
</sources>
</mapping>
</mappings>
</configuration>
</plugin>
in src/main/binary this is what I have: ls -ltr src/main//binary/opendj
opendj is the 3PP software I am packaing.
With the above pom.xml this is what I get:
/opt/mycompany/mgmt/config/mgmt.properties
/opt/opendj/Legal/license_to_accept.txt
/opt/opendj/QuickSetup.app/Contents/Info.plist
and in this case the installation of the 3PP (opendj) fails
If I don't include the configuration files in the rpm plugin, this is what I get:
**/opt
/opt/opendj**
/opt/opendj/Legal
/opt/opendj/Legal/license_to_accept.txt
/opt/opendj/QuickSetup.app
/opt/opendj/QuickSetup.app/Contents
/opt/opendj/QuickSetup.app/Contents/Info.plist
You can see that in this case, the package creates the directories /opt and /opt/opednj etc.. In this case the installation of the 3PP (opendj) succeeds.
Thanks!
