Description of problem: The RPM spec template installed by rpmdev-newrpmspec has this line: BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) Perhaps this should be changed to fit the guideline's preferred style, BuildRoot: %(mktemp -ud %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-XXXXXX) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmdevtools-6.4-1.fc8
I don't think there's any real technical reason to change it, and the current BuildRoot is both accepted by the guidelines and happens to be my personal favourite, so I'll keep it as is.
