Hi,

I have a source tar of a package that I wish to package for fedora. To install that there is a bash script should be done and that bash file is inside the tar. How can I refer to that bash file (in the spec file) in that tar to run it?

if the tar name is abc.tar.gz. the install.sh file in just inside abc.tar.gz.

Well, after the line in the spec:

%setup -q

The pwd is inside the extracted tarball.  So you probably want:

%setup -q ./install.sh

Or somesuch.

Thanks

...

Any help?

In the %install section, of course, not in the %prep section.

Of course. :)
