I only want files copied into an RPM spec file under a certain condition like:
%install if [ %{test}=="true" ]; then cp %{topdirectory}/file1.txt $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/home/user1 fi %files if [ %{test}=="true" ]; then %attr(0644, user1,user1) /home/user1/file1.txt fi When I execute rpmbuild I pass in a flag to define what "test" is, like:
rpmbuild --define="test true" --bb --quiet myspecfile.spec However, I get an error message that looks like:
error: File must begin with "/": if error: File must begin with "/": [ error: File must begin with "/": false=="true" error: File must begin with "/": ]; error: File must begin with "/": then error: File must begin with "/": fi I'm not really sure what this error message means, but it clearly does not like me putting an if statement near the %files macro or the %install macro. How do I change my if statement to make rpmbuild happy?
