<h3>Background</h3> <p>I'm trying to build a simple rpm which just copies some web app source files to an install directory. The web app is written in Java, and is provided by a vendor (i.e it's not written by me).</p> <p>The rpm fails to build due to the error described below. However, I have successfully built a nearly identical rpm for another Java-based web app from the same vendor. The spec files are the same except for the names of things like the install path and the source file name.</p> <h3>Problem</h3> <p><code>rpmbuild -v -bb --clean SPECS/web-app.spec</code> fails with <code>Permission denied</code> when it tries to remove some files in <code>{BUILDROOT}/web-app-1.0/tmp</code>.</p> <p>I checked the permissions on the files that <code>rpmbuild</code> couldn't remove. Some examples below:</p> <pre><code>-r--r--r--. 1 signer signer 1203 Jan 13 2006 Adler32.class -r--r--r--. 1 signer signer 19498 Jan 13 2006 Deflate.class -r--r--r--. 1 signer signer 628 Jan 13 2006 Deflate$Config.class -r--r--r--. 1 signer signer 8673 Jan 13 2006 InfBlocks.class </code></pre> <p>They have the correct ownership and group for my build user (<code>signer</code>), but no write permission.</p> <p>These files are not part of any process I explicitly defined in my rpm spec. All my spec file does is run <code>%setup</code>, make a directory, and copy files into it. The source tarball extracted during <code>%setup</code> has the correct permissions for all of its files; I can extract and delete the tree it creates. These files are NOT part of the source tarball. I think the <code>tmp</code> files are related to some Java file processing; <code>rpmbuild</code> took a long time "repacking" jar files near the end of the build. I'm not sure what purpose that has, and I doubt it's needed for the app I'm deploying.</p> <h3>Questions</h3> <p>Can I disable the jar file repacking to fix this? Any other ideas?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
