How to specify the attributes of folders in rpm.spec recursively – CentOS

The file attribute can be specified in the field of rpm.spec, e.g.

%dir %attr(0770, userA, groupA) /etc/config/

My point is, There are many folders under /etc/config and I want to specify their attributes the same as /etc/config. I don’t want to specify them one by one. Is there a way to specify all the folders’ attribute under /etc/config recursively? Just like sudo chmod -R 770 /etc/config?

    You can do this:

    %install
...
#whatever in plain bash
chmod -R 770 %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/config
chmod 644 %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/config/foo/bar/somefile

%files
# the attributes are copied from buildroot, but not user
%{_sysconfdir}/config
%{_sysconfdir}/config/foo/bar/somefile

    or

    %install
...
#whatever in plain bash
chmod -R 770 %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/config
chmod 644 %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/config/foo/bar/somefile

%files
%defattr(-, userA, groupA, -)
%{_sysconfdir}/config

    or

    %files
# fileattr, user, group, dirattr
%defattr(770, userA, groupA, 550)
%{_sysconfdir}/config

    when you use the %dir directive, you tell rpmbuild to package only that directory and not the contents recursively (see here). So why don’t you just use:

    %attr(0770, userA, groupA) /etc/config/

    to package /etc/config/ and all subdirectories and files recursively with those attributes?
