My understanding of the RPM spec sections was always that:
- "%prep" is for "./configure",
- "%build" is for "make",
- "%install" is for "make install", and
- "%check" is for "make check".
"make check" (usually executed /before/ "make install")
works in and on the working directory
(https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets).
To test that the resulting binary package is functional, an-
other venue is needed, and in the case of Fedora, for that
purpose Fedora CI was created
(https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/ci/tests/).
That feels like a much cleaner solution than installing some
files, testing and then not shipping them because the test
environment will be the same as a user's who just installed
the package instead of being in the process of building the
package.
