[SOLVED] Various files to various destination while RPM Generation using rpm plugin in gradle

Issue

I am writing a gradle code using Gradle-ospackage RPM Plugin to generate RPM. I am able to generate RPM. My requirement is that, while generating the RPM, specific files should be moved to different location. For Example I have below structure,

           |--SOURCES
              --Properties
                --a.property
                --b.property
                --c.property
              --configs
                --conf.xml
                --cache.xml
              --war
                --test.war
              --testng.java
              --val.java
              ...
              ...
           |--SPECS
           |--RPMS
           |--SRPMS

In the above example, when generating rpm, *.properties,*.war and conf.xml should be moved to some other path like /modules/properties/,/modules/binaries/ and /modules/conf/.

Thanks in advance!

Solution

The nebula-ospackageplugin makes use of Gradle Copy Spec feature, which allows you to configure the "mappings" between sources directory structure and target rpm content layout, using from and into clauses. You can find several examples in the plugin documentation here and here.

In you example, you could have something like below

ospackage{
    // (...)

    into("/modules"){ 
        into ("properties"){
            from ("/SOURCES/Properties") // you could add some filtering                
        }
        into ("binaries"){
            from ("/SOURCES/war")
        }
        into ("conf"){
            from ("/SOURCES/configs")
        }                   
        // EDIT : include all .java source files
        into ("sources"){
            from ("/SOURCES") {
                 include "**/*.java"
            }
        }
    } 
}
