Why not have it created in post by the warsow-data rpm?

%post
ln -sf %{_datadir}/warsow/basewsw/*  %{gamelibdir}/basewsw

%postun
rm -rf %{gamelibdir}/basewsw



Good idea, going to try this. 



Nope it didn't work either, with Charle's suggestion I get this error:

ln: target ‘/usr/lib64/games/warsow/basewsw/’ is not a directory: No such file or directory

Which I don't understand why it says no such file or directory if that's the link I want to create. And /usr/lib64/games/warsow exists. I also tried the for loop option with no success either:

for i in `%{_datadir}/%{name}/basewsw/*`;
do
   file=`basename $i`
   ln -sf $i  %{gamelibdir}/basewsw/$file
done

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.HdlyUk: line 7: /usr/share/warsow-data/basewsw/*: No such file or directory

It seems as if the expression `%{_datadir}/%{name}/basewsw/*` (don't mind the left quotes, it happens the same with them or not) of the for loop wasn't being expanded and $i ends with the literal value '*'.

Any other suggestions ?
