Hi Charlie,

I'm working on some custom RPMs; followed your RPM howto. However I have
some questions I hope you can answer for me.

1) If I store an empty (ie with no files in it) folder in an RPM, it
   will not be created when installing the RPM. My (temp) fix is to store
   a hidden (zero size) file in the folder to be created. Surely there is
   a better way.
   I would also like to note that expanding a template to a non-existing
   folder (ie expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf while /etc/squid does
   not exist) causes a segmentation fault and core dump.

2) Rights and ownership: When a template is expanded from fragments, what
   rights and ownership will be assigned to the resulting file? The rights
   and ownership of template-begin?


Best regards,

Matthijs van der Klip
