I hope "… have their own %buildsubdir …" doesn't mean that some package monkey is trying to set/change %builddubdor in a *.spec file. Meanwhile, I'm not sure what you have "discovered": literally nothing has changed in this area for most of this century, the whole mechanism if fabulously broken and mis-designed and mis-implemented imho. No change to any of these conventions should be undertaken, nor do I have any interest in "fixes" short of scrapping everything and reimplementing more soundly, and that effort cannot be done without a ROADMAP and goals and automated testing and more. But "Have it your own way!" feel free to change whatever you wish, just don't check any "wild hacking" changes in. hth 73 de Jeff______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org Developer Communication List rpm-devel@rpm5.org
