Something I would like to see standard in RPM is for the default for
installation of source files from a .src.rpm file to be changed from
%{_sourcedir}
to
%{_sourcedir}/%{name}-%{version}
(The above example assumes the current definition of _sourcedir,
which the suggested implementation below proposes be changed).
With the above, multiple .src.rpm files could be installed simultaneously
without mixing their files in SOURCES.
Suggested implementation:
Change the definition of _sourcedir from
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES/
to
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES/%{name}-%{version}
I've done this in my .rpmmacros file for a long time and am happy with it.
