Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found

Question

I want to create RPM package using this spec file:

Name: some-agent
Version: 1.0
Release: 1%{?dist}
Summary: Linux Agent installation script

Group: Utilities
License: license

Source0: some-agent-1.0.tar.gz
BuildArch: x86_64
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)


%description

%prep

%build
%install
mkdir -p %{buildroot}/opt/agent
#install -m 0755 -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt/agent
cp -a * %{buildroot}

%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

%files
%dir 
/opt/agent

%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc
%changelog

I run this command:

user@laptop ~]$ 
[user@laptop ~]$ rpmbuild -bb -v ~/rpm/SPECS/kernel.spec

RPM build errors:

I have a Java files into the tar.gz packages so I don't need any compilation, just to extract the files into the destination directory.

Can you help me to fix this problem?

Answer 1

You need to extract those files in your (currently empty) %build section, and then copy them in the %install section to the target location under %{buildroot}. There are many primers available on the web.
