How to preseve the file attributes on the target?

[Kamal Hussain <kamalh lucent com>]

Hi All,
I am trying to map SVR4 packages to RPM and having problems in mapping 
some of the attributes.

In SVR4 package, you can specify "?" for mode, owner and group which 
means these attributes will be left unchanged if they already exist on 
the target. I am not able to find an equivalent to specify attributes in 
RPM. Is there any way we can tell an RPM package to honor the file 
attributes on the target and not to change it?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Kamal
