Posted: Thu May 04, 2017 2:53 am Post subject: [SOLVED] rpm preserver file permission when extracting

I was installing Brother printer driver on Gentoo (via rpm) this is the only available option I had.
http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadhowto.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hll5200dw_us_eu_as&os=127&dlid=dlf102556_000&flang=4&type3=560

Code:

rpm -ihv --nodeps (lpr-drivername)
rpm -ihv --nodeps (cupswrapper-drivername)

It worked OK but I've noticed the rpm change ownership of "usr" "var" and "opt" in "/" dir.
from example:
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Sep 10 2014 usr

to:
drwxr-xr-x 15 thelma users 4096 Sep 10 2014 usr

Anybody know how to prevent it, or force it to use "root:root"

Try this ebuild (hll5200dw-3.2.0.ebuild):

Code:

# Copyright 1999-2017 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2

EAPI=6

inherit rpm

DESCRIPTION=""
HOMEPAGE=""
SRC_URI="http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf102556/${PN}cupswrapper-${PV}-1.i386.rpm
http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf102555/${PN}lpr-${PV}-1.i386.rpm"

LICENSE=""
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86"
IUSE=""

DEPEND=""
RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"

S="${WORKDIR}"

src_install() {
insinto /etc
doins -r etc/*

insinto /opt/brother/Printers/HLL5200DW
doins -r opt/brother/Printers/HLL5200DW/{cupswrapper,inf}

exeinto /opt/brother/Printers/HLL5200DW/lpd
doexe opt/brother/Printers/HLL5200DW/lpd/{brprintconflsr3,filter_HLL5200DW,rawtobr3}

insinto /var
doins -r var/*
}

There are only i386 drivers? 64bit version is not available?

Thanks, I'll try it. Where did you get that ebuild? I need to structure it correctly in /usr/local/portage

Code:

ebuild /usr/local/portage/overlay/brother/hll5200dw-3.2.0.ebuild manifest
ebuild: /usr/local/portage/overlay/brother/hll5200dw-3.2.0.ebuild: does not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure

You need to create this structure

Code:

# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/net-print/hll5200dw

and then create file hll5200dw-3.2.0.ebuild

Code:

# ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-print/hll5200dw/hll5200dw-3.2.0.ebuild manifest

For create local overlay use this guide.

Correction, the ebuild installation worked perfectly but the printer didn't work, I got some kind of "filter error".
However, following installation instruction from Gentoo Wiki (RPM instruction) worked perfectly, no error message and the file ownership wasn't had not change at all.

You have tried with brother-overlay?
I looked the ebuilds and all depend on net-print/brother-genml1-bin, then

Code:

# layman -f -a brother-overlay
# emerge net-print/brother-genml1-bin

not sure if work but you can try

Thanks for the reply. I've already installed the one via rpm besides this ebuild is only ~x86 and I have only one old system ~x86 all others are amd64.
Brother recommanded using their sh script "linux-brprinter-installer" currently version (linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1.gz) but I don't want to mess with it any more.
