workarea

The directory to use to build the RPM. By default, this is a directory named rpm in the project's build directory.

NOTE: The absolute path to the workarea MUST NOT have a space in any of the directory names.

Beginning with release 2.0-beta-3, the plugin builds in a sub-directory of the workarea, named workarea/<name> or, when the execution has a classifier, workarea/<name>-<classifier>. The directory is not named after the execution, so executions with the same name and no classifier share one directory and overwrite each other's files. Only the attached-rpm goal has a classifier. Give each attached-rpm execution that builds a package of the same name a distinct classifier.

defineStatements

A list of %define statements that should be included in the top of the spec file

<plugin>
  ...
  <configuration>
    ...
    <defineStatements>
      <defineStatement>_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0</defineStatement>
    </defineStatements>
    ...
  </configuration>
  ...
</plugin>

preambleLines

A list of free-form lines that are written verbatim to the preamble of the spec file, after the tags the plugin generates and before %description. Use it for tags and macros that have no parameter of their own. The plugin does not check the lines. The default is no lines.

<plugin>
  ...
  <configuration>
    ...
    <preambleLines>
      <preambleLine>%{?systemd_requires}</preambleLine>
      <preambleLine>BuildRequires: systemd</preambleLine>
    </preambleLines>
    ...
  </configuration>
  ...
</plugin>

attachSpec

If given the value true, the generated spec file is attached to the project as a secondary artifact with type spec and classifier rpm-spec, so that install and deploy publish it next to the RPM. The default is false.

Maven allows one attached artifact per type and classifier, so enable this in a single execution of a project.

rpmbuildStage

The stage to build, e.g. the parameters passed to rpmbuild. By default this is -bb: Build a binary package (after doing the %prep, %build, and %install stages).

If you want to build binary and source packages, use -ba.

rpmbuildArgs

A list of additional arguments for rpmbuild, given in order and placed just before the spec file name. Use it for options the plugin has no parameter for, such as --rcfile. An option with a value takes two entries. The plugin does not check the arguments. The default is no arguments. The command line property is rpm.rpmbuildArgs, a comma-separated list.

<plugin>
  ...
  <configuration>
    ...
    <rpmbuildArgs>
      <rpmbuildArg>--rcfile</rpmbuildArg>
      <rpmbuildArg>/etc/rpm/custom.rc</rpmbuildArg>
    </rpmbuildArgs>
    ...
  </configuration>
  ...
</plugin>
