Regression of RPM directory management

[unomar]

It appears that a commit between 3.1.0 and 3.2.0 broke the ability to use the workaround specified in issue #59. The test specified in this comment no longer works after gradle-ospackage-plugin version 3.2.0.

I'm seeing the same thing with 3.4.0. Looks like addParentDirs doesn't have any effect anymore.

Note that if you move addParentDirs out of the from closure and into the task itself, it actually works and correctly removes all directories from being managed by the rpm. But then you have to re-add every subdirectory you actually do care about.

I'm having this same issue in 4.1.0. But don't really want to make it global to the task. Is this something that can be fixed?

[nicknezis]

I found this behavior in 4.1.0 to change based on if I'm using addParentDirs false and addParentDirs = false. The first doesn't work, but the later does. The Plugin-Rpm.md file states that both methods should be supported, but I'm only having success with the assignment. I'm not sure why this would be handled differently, but hopefully it gives another clue.

I think this is related to #124 and #212. I've added a pull request to fix the issue.

Fixed with the release of v4.3.0 today

I don't think this is fixed entirely: #246
