Hi
I have a customized rpm which will be shared by different applications, when I do a rpm install , I want to pass the app userid and groupid at install time so that directories /files installed by rpm will be owned by the app ids which I pass .
The idea is to make it work on a single shot both installation and permissions applying.
Note : we have different ids owned by different applications
Any suggestions on this will be helpful.
I suspect that you are on the wrong list. There are lists dedicated to upstream rpm, and what you want is technically possible¹ with rpm (I think) so they might help you. This list is about packaging with rpm for use in Fedora, and how users/groups are assigned is a well defined process that does not need/want arbitrary ids passed at install time.
¹ Rpm is maybe not the right tool for the job though, as most people don't want to interact with the rpm cli directly in the way you suggest.
