This part is okay.
Additionally, when building the libvirt package in an Open Build Service
instance, the spec file is not present in %_specdir, but instead in %_sourcedir.
But this looks fishy. Is the %_specdir defined in that case?
It is (that comes from RPM itself), however the directory is empty.
That feels like a bug in OBS then. IIUC this macro can be specified on
the rpmbuild's cmd line. Can't it set the %_specdir to be the same as
%_sourcedir?
Nothing about RPM mandates that %_specdir is actually *used* for anything.
But this is not the case, is it? %_specdir is defined and points to an
actual directory. Having said that, I am not against the change, but
maybe we can document this weirdness somewhere? Also, with the latest
specfile discussion I'll let Andrea take a look.
