I want to read a variable value from the target server in the %install
script. When I try to package the script, it searches the file where I am packaging and fails to find it. Is there any option to read the files on target server without such failures.

Actions that need to be performed on the target machine instead of the build machine should be done in the %pre
or %post
scriplets, depending on whether they should be performed before or after installation.
For more information on these scriptlets, see this section of Maximum RPM.
