Changing the %Setup Macro

[Eric Aiken]

I realize it is intentional that the %setup macro extracts files and
then chown/chmod's the extracted files.  Is there a way around this?
I need to create an rpm of files (no compile, make install,etc).  There
are a large number of files with very disparate owner/group/perms.

Creating a bunch of %file statements to create external file lists with
sed's  is not my preference.  If I could only:

tar --atime-preserve --preserve-permissions --same-owner   file.tar

that would quick and easy.


Could I create a macro for chown/chmod to point to echo or some other
harmless command within the spec  file and trick rpmbuild?


thanks
