The "apkg build" breaks due pam.de/netopeer2.conf path issue

[qupfer]

Hi,
running "apkg build" fails on a alma9 system due some issues with the path of "pam.d/netopeer2.conf" file

    File not found: /home/build/netopeer2/pkg/build/pkgs/almalinux-9.4/netopeer2-2.2.28-1.el9/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/netopeer2-2.2.28-1.el9.x86_64/etc/pam.d/netopeer2.conf

FYI: the file is found in ../usr/etc/pam.d/netopeer2.conf

I found to possible solutions:

• fix the path in the SPEC-File (change it it in the %files section to %{_prefix}/%{_sysconfdir}/pam.d/netopeer2.conf )
  • but then the file is put to /usr/etc/pam.d :-(
• fix it in the make file and replace
  • install(FILES "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/pam/netopeer2.conf" DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR}/pam.d")
  • to install(FILES "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/pam/netopeer2.conf" DESTINATION "${SYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR}/pam.d")

But not sure if that breaks other/more genral setups

You can add a condition for your system and the correct definition of CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR when building the package, for example, right?

Sure, but "I think" that if apkg config/preset is part of that project, it should "work" out of the box for default cases.
I don't understand, where "CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR" is (re)defined. cmake doku say, its set to "etc", which would be correct. Howether, it looks like its somewhere redefined to /usr/etc (or %{_prefix}/etc)

Edit: looks like its related with this: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.26/module/GNUInstallDirs.html

However, add an absolut path to the spec file seems working. I can prepare an PR if wanted.

Edit: create an PR
