add rpm-user

[rhd]

Hi, is it possible to either add or workaround fpm's rpm-user option?

    --rpm-user USER               (rpm only) Set the user to USER in the %files section. Overrides the user when used with use-file-permissions setting.

I need the files in the RPM owned by a specific user.

Thanks and great app!

Hi @rhd @caarlos0

Has there been any progress on this? I'm calling nfpm through goreleaser, and when installing my rpm in a fedora:latest image:

[root@66f5aed57836 app]# rpm -Uvh conntracct_0.2.0-next_linux_amd64.rpm
Verifying...                          ################################# [100%]
Preparing...                          ################################# [100%]

   1:conntracct-0.2.0-next            
warning: user  does not exist - using root
warning: group  does not exist - using root
################################# [100%]

Is this a symptom of this issue? Any known workaround? This behaviour doesn't seem to occur when installing the equivalent .debs on a Debian image.

haven't worked on it yet, no...

PRs accepted though :)

Digging a bit deeper:

[root@66f5aed57836 ~]# rpm -qlvp conntracct_0.2.0-next_linux_amd64.rpm
-rw-r--r--    1                                    344 Jan 14 12:59 /etc/conntracct/conntracct.yml
-rwxr-xr-x    1                               14538208 Jan 14 13:16 /usr/bin/conntracct

The files inside the RPM don't seem to have an owner at all. Is this intended? I don't need to be able to set the user, but I would just like my package to install without errors/warnings for now. :) In comparison, here is the same command run on another RPM package:

[root@66f5aed57836 ~]# rpm -qlvp rpm-5.4.15-42-omv2015.0.x86_64.rpm
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root                    32208 Sep 21  2018 /bin/rpm
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root                       50 Sep 21  2018 /etc/cron.daily/rpm

Could this be a bug?

Alright, looks like this is indeed being addressed in #97. Calls to rpm.AddFile contain rpmpack.RPMFile arguments without Owner and Group fields set, causing the owner/group fields of all files inside the archive to be empty. RPM does fall back to root in this case. With some quick changes applied:

		rpm.AddFile(
			rpmpack.RPMFile{
				...
				Owner: "root",
				Group: "root",

the RPM installs without errors, and the files inside the archive have an owner/group:

[root@689f5577f54f ~]# rpm -qvl conntracct_0.2.0-next_linux_amd64.rpm
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root                      344 Jan 14 12:59 /etc/conntracct/conntracct.yml
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root                      404 Jan 15 07:52 /lib/systemd/system/conntracct.service
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root                 14538208 Jan 15 08:15 /usr/bin/conntracct
