Exclude or delete directory path from %files in rpm.spec file

Tags:

rpm

rpm-spec

My spec files path looks like below : 

/opt/OV
/opt/OV/NonOV
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC/Test1
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC/Test1/test1.txt
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC/Test2
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC/Test2/test2.txt
/opt/OV/newconfig
/opt/OV/newconfig/inventory
/opt/OV/newconfig/inventory/HPOvXYZ.xml

I don't want to this path to be included in spec file /opt/OV/newconfig/inventory" because if more than one rpm has this common path it gives error "conflict with file from package."

I have checked with %excludes command like below:

%files
%exclude /opt/OV/newconfig/inventory

So problem with this command is, it is excluding directly and files recursively. The rpm.spec files path look like this:

/opt/OV
/opt/OV/NonOV
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC/Test1
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC/Test1/test1.txt
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC/Test2
/opt/OV/NonOV/ABCD/ABC/Test2/test2.txt
/opt/OV/newconfig

It is excluding /opt/OV/newconfig/inventory/HPOvXYZ.xml this path as well. Is there any command so the I an exclude/delete only directory path.

Thanks in Advance.

Macros set for the RPM (and SRPM) build process spec files is %{buildroot} , which points to the root of the installation target directory. It is used for setting DESTDIR in the package's %install step. The other macros are usually only used outside . spec files.

%files
/opt/OV
%exclude %dir /opt/OV/newconfig/inventory

This will leave /opt/OV/newconfig/inventory/HPOvXYZ.xml in the file list.
