Linux Package Editor Reference
Destination Path
Read-only. This is the path that the file will be installed to.
File Owner
Enter or select the owner of this file.
File Group
Enter or select the group that owns this file.
File Class
If this is a normal file, enter or select a description of the file. This informational
field is user-defined. It is pre-filled for symbolic link, device, and directory files.
See File Type.
File Category
During installation, RPM treats different categories of files in different ways. Select
Application, Configuration, or Documentation to define the category for this
file.
Be sure to verify that each file in the package is assigned to the correct category.
File Type
The options in this section are unavailable for directories and for files that you add
by adding the contents of a directory, because those files are always normal files.
These options provide a value for the first position in the file and directory attributes
that are displayed on the Linux computer with the ls -l command. Example: In
drw-rw-rw-, the d in the first position indicates a directory.
Normal File
Normal files are indicated by a - in the first position of the file attributes.
Symbolic Link File
A symbolic link file is a special type of file that contains a path to another file.
Instead of accessing the data in the symbolic link file, the operating system
accesses the data in the file named in the symbolic link. This is similar to a
shortcut in Windows.
You cannot set this option; it is set only when you add or import files that are
already defined as symbolic link files.
Device File
(Read only.) This might be marked for files that are imported. This does not
apply to documentation or configuration files. Device files are indicated by a c
(character device) or b (block device) in the first position of the file attributes.
Directory
Mark this to create an empty directory on the Linux computer. The directory is
created at the location specified in Destination Path, and with the name
specified in Filename above. Directories are indicated by a d in the first
position of the file attributes.
Permissions
Read, Write, Execute
Specify read, write, and execute permissions for the file owner, the file group,
and the public.
Set User ID Bit
If this is an executable file, mark this to set the file to run with the same
privileges as the file owner specified above.
