rpmPrefix has no effect during rpm:packageBin

[alecswan]

Hello,

I added the following setting in build.sbt
rpmPrefix := Some("/opt/kafka-manager")
and ran
sbt rpm:packageBin
which generated an RPM file but "rpm -qpl target/rpm/RPMS/noarch/kafka-manager-*.rpm" still shows all jars and javadoc files under /usr/share/kafka-manager/. When I install the RPM it does the same thing and puts jars and javadoc under /usr/share/kafka-manager/.

Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Are you using the latest milestone 1.0.5-M3? There were some fixes around relocatable rpms.

I upgraded to 1.0.5-M3 but without any success. sbt rpm:packageBin task still produces an RPM with the old paths. I see the following warnings during the task execution which seems to me that 0.7.4 was evicted in favor of 1.0.5-M3, but I am not sure if it has some other side effects:
[warn] There may be incompatibilities among your library dependencies.
[warn] Here are some of the libraries that were evicted:
[warn] * com.typesafe.sbt:sbt-native-packager:0.7.4 -> 1.0.5-M3
[warn] Run 'evicted' to see detailed eviction warnings

I am running this on CentOS 6.5 with Java 7 and sbt 0.13.9.

Can you post your full build.sbt here?

Any update on this? Would be nice to be able to use rpmPrefix and have the install be self-contained to the location specified.

[justinnichols]

So I believe this isn't really a bug (except that in the SPECS it's "prefix" instead of "Prefix", which I can create a pull request for shortly). I believe this is due to our misunderstanding of what Prefix is used for. Basically it's not designed to say "install into the 'Prefix' location". It's designed to say "make all paths in the 'Prefix' location relocatable if the installing user requests it as such using --relocate option on rpm".

The real issue is that the rpm packager doesn't support multiple Prefix values: prefix: Option[String] = None in RpmMetadata.scala. If it was instead set up to be prefix: Seq[String] = Seq.empty we could do the following:

rpmPrefix ++= Seq("/usr/share/play-demo", "/var/log/play-demo", "/var/run/play-demo", "/etc/default", "/etc/init.d")

I will try to see if I can come up with that kind of a change and submit it in a pull request.

See http://rpm5.org/docs/api/relocatable.html

[justinnichols]

I just found a workaround for the current version that also lets the paths to be relocated (basically a space-delimited string):

val packageName = "play-demo"

rpmPrefix := Some("/usr/share/" + packageName + " /var/log/" + packageName + " /var/run/" + packageName + " /etc/default /etc/init.d")

The biggest problem I see is that relocating these packages will break the /etc/init.d script. My best guess is instead to let it install like normal and then create symlinks from the location you would want to see this be housed (for easier maintenance).

EDIT> It occurred to me that maybe the prefixing could work such that the original paths get symlinked to the target self-contained folder during relocation. I haven't tested to see if RPM just does that on its own or not, but if so it would be the solution I think.

[justinnichols]

Submitted #698 to support multiple prefixes. If it's determined that it's not necessary, I completely understand. It's there if it's useful :)

[muuki88]

cc @fsat did some pull requests on this. See #661 #664 #685 #667 and #668

I'm not really familiar this relocate feature ( neither I know why it's needed ). If you and @fsat say this should be that way ( and providing sources that underline this ), I'm fine merging it :)
