Re: RPM building races

[Jim Knoble <jmknoble () jmknoble cx>]

Circa 2001-Mar-20 13:49:55 -0500 dixit Jim Knoble:

:   (3) Many recent specfiles use the '%{_tmpdir}' macro for BuildRoot;
:       for example:
:
:         BuildRoot: %{_tmpdir}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}
:
:       %{_tmpdir} defaults to /var/tmp/; it's easy enough to change:

Err ... that's %{_tmppath}, not %{_tmpdir}.  Corrected commands are as
follows:

        cat >>~/.rpmmacros <<EOF
        %HOME %{expand:%%(cd; pwd)}
        %_tmppath %{HOME}/tmp
        EOF

Thanks to kloczek for noticing the mistake.
