Olivier,

Thanks for the response.

How is that the same though ?
I want to query the administrator installing the RPM (at install time) as to which group to set for the binary and then use that to set the group of the binary.

Doesn't this ::
> %attr(755, user, group) /a/file

imply that "group" is a known entity at build time ?

Hello,

I have an urgent requirement to be able to deliver a binary in an RPM
with an unknown group name, at the rpm build time.  The Group name will
be known only at install time.


Isn't it what wo do in rpm since rpm 4, maybe rpm 3 ?

%attr(755, user, group) /a/file

in pre, something that more or less does: adduser user -g group ...

Iirc, RH/fedora does more or less the same, and probaly other distros.
