I created a tarball with multiple files. The rpm generator requires those files to be inside a folder. I don't want to move the files before generating the tar. Is there a way to create this folder while generating the tar or after it?

The -c option to %setup will allow you to create a directory and extract the files from the various sources within it.

For me that's not an option right now. But thank you anyway. I'll have to solve the problem in the tar, I can't change the rpm params. – Jader Dias Jun 9 '11 at 19:25

Your other alternative is to write a custom tool, since even GNU tar doesn't support this. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jun 9 '11 at 19:39
