I have a dim recollection of an undocumented option to rpm (now rpmbuild) that's essentially equivalent to "-bb --short-circuit". That is, it jumps directly to binary RPM files creation; the installation buildroot is already assumed to exist and populated according to whatever's in %files.
Anyone remember what it is?
Unless this has changed since times past, there is no such option. If I recall correctly, rpm very intentionally does not allow you to skip over all stages and jump directly to the file packaging stage which then writes out the final binary packages.
Yeah and all that. This is a debugging/hacking option only.
I managed to drudge my memory cell and remember the undocumented -bs option, which creates just the .src.rpm. Now, I need to remember the rest of the storyâ
