2) fedpkg would not be needed if rpmbuild would be sanely able to do
something like `fedpkg --release master srpm` but even so basic think
requires either shuffling with files on FS or specifying million of
working directories. I really don't understand why this was never improved.
Actually, this can be improved very easy in $HOME/.rpmmacros. I use
this:
%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/build
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES/%{name}
%_specdir %{_sourcedir}
%_srcrpmdir %{_rpmdir}
Yup. If you prefer working in a dist-git like layout, just configure rpm
do behave that way. One possibility is simply:
%_topdir %{getenv:PWD}
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}
%_specdir %{_topdir}
%_srcrpmdir %{_topdir}
%_builddir %{_topdir}
..and perhaps %_buildrootdir as well. And then just "mkdir foo; cd foo"
when starting a new package.
The reasons that rpm doesn't default to this directory per source
package layout include
- there are cases where this doesn't work so well
- it'd invalidate 20+ years of documentation on the subject
- nobody has sat down to figure how to transition the existing
assumptions to this type of layout without breaking everybodys setup in
the progress
