Re: turn a tarball into RPM

[Stephen Mah <steve mah oracle com>]

thanks for the tip:

Now, I'm getting a weird error:

It only happens when I have these 2 lines: install -m 644 %{SOURCE1} 
/usr/share/icons/foobar_enhancer.png, & 
/usr/share/icons/foobar_enhancer.png (under %files)

%install
cp -r ${RPM_BUILD_DIR}/foobar-enhancer /opt
install -m 644 %{SOURCE1} /usr/share/icons/foobar_enhancer.png

%files
%defattr(-,root,desktop, 0775)
/opt/foobar-enhancer/*
/usr/share/icons/foobar_enhancer.png
