Specify location where RPM installs files

[lewisskslipstone]

Need to be able to specify where the RPM puts the files it installs. We need to remove the hard coded /usr/share in GenericPackageSettings

object GenericPackageSettings {
val installLocation = "/usr/share"
}

Yeah, I'm generally unhappy that I have that /usr/share in there, and would like to have that default more configurable.

As a workaround, you can modify the mappings and symlinks after the fact:

def makeNewInstallPath(old: Path): String = 
     if(old startsWith "/usr/share")
        // Move to where you want it
     else old

linuxPackageMappings := {
  val old = linuxPackageMappings.value
  for(mappings <- old) yield {
      val fileMappings = for { 
         (file, installPath) <- mappings.mappings
      yield file -> makeNewInstallPath(installPath)
     mappings.copy(fileData = fileMappings)
  }
}

linuxPackageSymlinks := {
  val old = linuxPackageSymlinks.value
  for {
    LinuxSymlink(link, dest) <- old
  } yield LinuxSymlink(link, makeNewInstallPath(dest))
}

Hope that helps!
