rpm + extract file after rpm install how to do?

  • 772

I build a simple rpm based on spec file but my target is after I installed the rpm by rpm -Uvh , is to put the test.sh file under /home directory, please advice what I need to change in the spec file in order to put the test.sh after I installed the rpm ?

remark: test.sh defined under /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

 [root@linux /usr/src/redhat]# ls
   BUILD  RPMS  SOURCES  SPECS  SRPMS
 [root@linux /usr/src/redhat]# ls SOURCES 
   test.sh

 [root@linux /usr/src/redhat/SPECS]# more my_spec.spec

    Well, you need an install step where you copy the script to the home directory something like that, not tested !

    %install
rm -rf %{buildroot}

mkdir -p %{buildroot}/home

cp %SOURCE0 %{buildroot}/home

%file
/home/test.sh
