1. In General Options, sections --version, --rcfile and --pipe refer to 'rpm' rather than 'rpmbuild' ============= 2. In General Options, section --root, is the description 'modifying', and of %pre and %post correct? I understand __reading__ (but not writing) the database for purposes of satisfying a BuildRequire, but the rest seems to == NOOP. ============= 3. In Build Options, section --sign, it references a non-existant section concerning GPG SIGNATURES -- it probably should point to the one in man 8 rpm .
1) In this case, "rpm" is the subsystem, not the excutable name, and these are general options. 2) and 3) Clarification added. Now to rip the build modes out of rpm.8, sigh.
