My ~/.rpmmacros is this: %_topdir /q/zaitcev/rpms %_packager Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@xxxxxxxxx> Some run Mike Harris' .rpmmacros, which allows to preserve sets of sources: %_topdir /q/zaitcev/rpms %_packager Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@xxxxxxxxx> %_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES/%{name}-%{version} %_specdir %{_sourcedir} In that case, "rm -rf rpms/SOURCES/kernel-whatever" is the answer. But the main point is to do the cleanup before installing an SRPM, not once you're done playing. You'll never remember doing the cleanup if you postpone it. -- Pete -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
