Description

The buildroot in specfiles is ignored on purpose, NOTABUG. If a package depends on an exact buildroot, basically the package is buggy, but since historically rpm has honored spec provided buildroot the new behavior is certain to "break" a bunch of packages. Just curious: what's the scenario in your case that "requires" a specific buildroot? I have always built in /usr/src/redhat. When y'all changed the default to build in ~/rpmbuild, I redefined _topdir to /usr/src/redhat in my ~/.rpmmacros file to put back the default, but that doesn't change buildrootdir, hence I noticed the problem (since it tried to use ~/buildroot/BUILDROOT, which doesn't exist). Right, in that case there is an actual bug involved: while the spec buildroot is ignored on purpose, the default buildroot should follow _topdir unless specifically overridden. Fixed upstream Fixed by rpm-4.5.90-0.git8444.1 in rawhide |
