Where I place my appdata files - a rpmlint problem

[real_bastie]

Hello,

I have a data file “animator.inf”. Now, because warning of rpmlint, I moved this from bin directory to …

• first I get an FHS 2.2 problem with some paths…
• now I get an world wide writing problem.

I want not disable rpmlint warn and so:

• Where I place an datafile for my <package>, if modify is allow for all users?
• Is {_usr}/share/<package> a good place? When yes, why 666 not allowed for user rights?

Thx

Hi
It’s not {_usr}/share/<package> but %{_datadir}/<package> you can the
use the %attr against the file to alter permissions and ownership
(suggest users) eg;

%attr(0666,root,users) %{_datadir}//<package>/animator.inf

If it’s a config file then you may want to use %config(noreplace) as
well?
