%post
# If this is the first installation, then move the cache created during build into place
# if not, and it's an upgrade; we wait until old versions are uninstalled (see %triggerpostun)
if [ $1 -eq 1 ]; then
    # Grant apache access to it so remaining items can be cached (doctrine annotations)
    chown -R apache:apache /home/sites/%{name}/app/cache/build

    mv /home/sites/%{name}/app/cache/build /home/sites/%{name}/app/cache/prod
fi

%triggerpostun -- %{name}
# Only moved the created cache into place if at least 1 version will be left behind from the uninstall
# $2 is the number of versions left after an uninstall of %{name} has been performed
# >=1 means this is an upgrade, anything smaller means a complete removal
if [ $2 -ge 1 ]; then
    # Grant apache access to it so remaining items can be cached (doctrine annotations)
    chown -R apache:apache /home/sites/%{name}/app/cache/build

%defattr(-,root,root,-)
/home/sites/%{name}
/home/vhosts/%{name}.conf
%attr(755, apache, apache) %dir /home/sites/%{name}/app/cache
%attr(755, apache, apache) %dir /home/sites/%{name}/app/logs

You can get rid of the BUILD path using the below formula

find app/cache/ -type f | xargs sed -i "s#%{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}#/home/sites/%{name}#ig"

Nice, that makes it more portable, cheers.
