------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 12 07:02:22 -0800 2005 ------- This issue is invalid. rene: You are one of the fighters for "use system stuff where available" if I'm not wrong. The freedesktop spec uses the system stuff. Please choose a more suitable (non-insulting) summary next time. It is a brain-damaged default of RPM to have the build dir below /usr and not below the users home, but this is not a bug in the specfile. You definitely don't need to be root to build the spec. I packages more than 100 packages without ever having to be root while building. I don't appreciate the move of the build-stuff to the makefile. The proper solution is to create a ~/.rpmmacros file and tell rpm where it should put the things. Use somthing like this: "%_topdir /home/cl/rpmbuild" and create the directories "BUILD" "RPMS" "SOURCES" "SPECS" "SRPMS" in /home/cl/rpmbuild or any directory you want. You can do this for the individual directories as well, as this is already the case for _rpmdir (to output the built rpm to the unxlngi directory) So you can use "%_builddir /some/dir/" as well So either: configure rpm properly (using ~/.rpmmacros file) pass --define "_builddir some/unxlngidir" to rpm (as already the case with _rpmdir) But please don't move the build stuff to the makefiles. Definitely not a P1 when a user has a "broken" setup. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
