"keeping their system intact" isn't a goal for me. My work is already inside a throwaway VM, because after doing a local build, I want to install the package and actually attempt to use it in a real running system. > > This proposal was triggered specifically by comment from this ticket [1]: > > ~~~ > > I still have a workflow issue, because running `fedpkg local`generates a > huge amount of files that, in most repositories, are not in `.gitignore`, > leading to mistakes like this. > > ~~~ > > This is simply not good user experience. The fault in this case is not the existance of "fedpkg local", rather it is a combination of poor default locations for "fedpkg local" when unpacking the RPM, and poor .gitignore contents. eg it'll create a .build-$SOMEVERSION.log file every time, and unpack the tarball into the base directory, neither of which are in the git ignore list. And the results get put into an x86_64/ (or other arch) subdirectory which again isn't in the gitignore. It should be easy to make fedpkg local only ever create files within a "build/" sub-directory and have this subdir be in the dist-git .gitignore file out of the box.
