Hi,

here's the background:

I wrote a shell script to make a package like steam in games.

It'll use update-messages and update-scripts mechanisms to download commercial data on the user's own system to avoid unclear copyright.

Then I have to %ghost all the files to keep track of them.

But there're filenames and directory names with whitespaces in them.

And it's hardcoded in the data config so I can't change.

So how to write such names with whitespaces in RPM specfile?

Anyone can share some experience?

Greetings

If you %define filename "asdf asdf asdf" Doesn't "%{filename}" then expand as desired? When faced with whitespace, I've renamed the files, but I'm pretty sure the above would do it.

You can match the whitespace with a glob.
