In my pom.xml

 <artifactId>rpm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>2.0.1</version>
 <goal>rpm</goal>
...
 <mapping>
          <directory>/etc/conf</directory>
          <username>ME</username>
          <groupname>ME</groupname>

          <sources>
            <source>
              <location>../install.properties</location>
            </source>
          </sources>
</mapping>

...

When use the above /etc/conf folder get created with ME:ME permission.

         <mapping>
              <directory>/etc/conf</directory>
              <username>ME</username>
              <groupname>ME</groupname>
              <sources>
                <source>
                  <location>../install.properties</location>
                </source>
              </sources>
    </mapping>
    <mapping>
              <directory>/etc/conf</directory>
              <username>ME</username>
              <groupname>ME</groupname>
              <sources>
                <source>
                  <location>../install2.properties</location>
                </source>
              </sources>
    </mapping>

But when i add another mapping the /etc/conf folder gets created with root:root

What am i missing ?

The documentation says :

directoryIncluded
If the value is true then the attribute string will be written for the directory 
if the sources identify all of the files in the directory 
(that is, no other mapping contributed files to the directory). 
This is the default behavior.

Since in this case there are two mapping contributing to same directory therefore %attr will not be written for the directory in the spec file. We might need to include one more mapping like:

    <mapping>
              <directory>/etc/conf</directory>
              <username>ME</username>
              <groupname>ME</groupname>

    </mapping>

  • And all of the mappings should explicitly set the directoryIncluded config value. The mapping that is just to control ownership of the directory should set to true and the other mappings providing content should set it to false. – Brett Okken Apr 29 '14 at 20:12
