Hello. I have a task to complete and it involves using RPM with ClearCase. I have looked through as much documentation as possible about RPM and I still have questions about it. My task is to create a .rpm using ClearCase by unzipping a 22 Mb file and placing it into a set directory structure. I don't have alot but my spec file goes through the %prep section fine. However, I have some questions:
a) i would like to test to see if the directory exists and if it doesn't, create the directory structure. I can't seem to get the right syntax of my if...else test. this is what i have so far:
Code:
if [ this equals the directory ]
then
echo "Directory already exists!!"
else
mkdir -p <directory>
fi
b) once, i have the directory structure, i need to unzip the source file into that directory. will RPM allow for such a task and how should I go about it? Any help would be appreciated.

Takes given SCAP input(s) and makes an RPM package that contains them. The result RPM can be installed using # yum install ./pack-
age-name-1-1.rpm which will put the contents into /usr/share/xml/scap. No dependency on openscap or scapworkbench is enforced in the output
package so you can use any SCAP-capable scanner to evaluate the content.
positional arguments:
FILE List of files that should be put into the result package. These should be SCAP XML files but such requirement is not enforced.
optional arguments:
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
