Because...? Note that you can always use option -d if you want to execute the %prep section in a different directory. The reason why it defaults to the current directory is because this is where the original (slow) implementation was ultimately preparing the working tree, and I wanted to make the transition to the new (fast) method as smooth as possible. I proposed this implementation 10 years ago, and nobody objected. It's the default for 2 years now, and nobody complained. (Actually, there was a report about "quilt setup" being unsafe: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?56969 However my understanding is that this is caused by rpmbuild allowing arbitrary commands in spec files, and not related to slow mode vs. fast mode implementation details.) -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
