The Packaging Guidelines indicate that BuildRoot: should not be used in
Fedora specfiles.
The BuildRoot: tag has not been required since RHEL6 and was also not
required in EPEL5 (due to some magic in epel-rpm-macros). It has not
been needed in any Fedora release since at least Fedora 12.
It has already been removed from most packages due to previous efforts
but it lingers in a few (91, to be exact). Additionally, a few packages
(24) employ an odd construct like the following:
%{?el5:BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)}
which was always unnecessary and now is completely pointless because we
can't build for el5 in any case. And one does this odd bit:
%{?!buildroot:BuildRoot: %_tmppath/buildroot-%name-%version-%release}
Which is also pointless in Fedora (and is using an unsafe value which
was never allowed in Fedora or EPEL). I found all of these with a
simple grep for '^(%{?.*)?BuildRoot:' but I did add a find-buildroot
script to https://pagure.io/fedora-misc-package-utilities
The usual lists are below. Feel free to fix your packages if you like;
there should be no need to rebuild. I will wait a few days and then fix
up the instances which remain.
