From your logs:

[error] error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)

From your configs:

rpmGroup := None

Try to add rpmGroup := Some("GroupName")

rpm on group

The group tag is used to group packages together by the types of functionality they provide. The group specification looks like a path and is similar in function, in that it specifies more general groupings before more detailed ones. For example, a package containing a text editor might have the following group:

Examples are

Group: Applications/Spreadsheets
Applications/Editors
Development/Others

Thank you it worked after adding "rpmGroup := Some("GroupName")"

I am new to Playframework and I have one more question for Overriding template http://www.scala-sbt.org/sbt-native-packager/GettingStartedApplications/OverridingTemplates.html

where do yo add this template "src/templates/bash-template" for palyframework app, since there is no "src" directory

I am using this play app to build to RPM
https://github.com/claudemamo/kafka-web-console

[muuki88]

Simply add it ;)

app
conf
src
...

Thanks, I tried that before but for some reason I thought it is not working:), which was working always to overwrite using etc-default file.

Now it works perfectly fine.

Just some comments for creating system user, I can create this user before install, but it seems for CentOS 5.8 "--system" option does not work, it need to use "-r"

Which version of rpm are you using. It should be at least 4.x.x. All our rpm tests run successfully on travis :/
