File conflict errors when attempting to install RPM

[SonicGDX]

Installing the latest release RPM (either via "sudo dnf install" or with GNOME Software using PackageKit) on my Fedora Linux 37 system fails with a bunch of file conflict errors, related to /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/mime. I also tested on a VM and it occurs there too, ruling out my setup being the issue (but I did have Java installed there so I doubt this is related to that). I do not know if this occurs on other RPM-based distros or with the .deb version.

Here is the DNF log from the freshly installed Fedora 37 VM (although not updated, but I don't think this matters since it also occured on my up-to-date system)

[VirtualMachine@localhost-live Downloads]$ sudo dnf install gdx-texturepacker-4.11.0.rpm

EDIT: I see this line

gdx-texture-packer-gui/desktop/build.gradle

Line 307 in f1f0005

// FIXME: "java8-runtime" is not recognized by RPM package manager and throws an error (on Fedora at least).

in the build.gradle but I'm not sure if its related

[SonicGDX]

I managed to get the transaction test to work through adding a few things to the build.gradle (didn't check whether createDirectoryEntry=false or addParentDirs=false were individually needed) https://github.com/SonicGDX/gdx-texture-packer-gui/commit/3f90eb892d8ba35ec665d95459da56e77079358a from nebula-plugins/gradle-ospackage-plugin#297 (comment) but I won't submit a PR or anything because I am not knowledgeable on this plugin or Gradle build scripts at all and there is likely a much better way of doing it.

I also got this error from the post install:
error: setexecfilecon: (/usr/bin/env bash, rpm_script_t) No such file or directory
error: Plugin selinux: hook scriplet_fork_post failed
warning: %post(gdx-texturepacker-0:4.11.0-1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 126

Error in POSTIN scriptlet in rpm package gdx-texturepacker

but I'm not sure if that's just my setup or not

[metaphore]

Thanks for bringing this up and looking into the Gradle files!

Apparently, the RPM package task wasn't properly configured and was imposing ownership over some system directories. Now it should work without an issue.

I've updated the 4.11.0 release RPM artifact, could you please test it on your end?

[SonicGDX]

It brings up errors and warnings, but does install now

Oh, looks like some more configuration is required for package producing task. But at least it works now. I will make some amends to RPM for the next release.

Thanks for checking out!
