Unable to use macros in mapping/directory

[lpouget-zz]

Hi,

If I define my rpm like this :

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>rpm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.5</version>
        <configuration>
          <defineStatements>
            <defineStatement>_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0</defineStatement>
            <defineStatement>myappsysconf %_sysconfdir/my-app</defineStatement>
          </defineStatements>
          <mappings>
            <mapping>
              <configuration>noreplace</configuration>
              <directory>%{myappsysconf}/conf.d/</directory>
              <filemode>440</filemode>
              <sources>
                <source>
                  <location>src/main/resources/test.conf</location>
                </source>
              </sources>
            </mapping>
          </mappings>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

And I have this error :

Is there a way to handle this configuration ?

After some investigations, it seems not possible to "chain" macro.

If I replace %{myappsysconf} by %{_sysconfdir}/my-app in directory, all are working fine.

Is it intended that %{myappsysconf} was not completely resolved ?

[dantran]

correct, it is not possible for Maven to resolve RPM variables
