Even when building as root under /usr/src/redhat, rpmbuild would honour the BuildRoot: setting in your spec file and not go creating /usr/lib/boo or whatever if the construct described in Comment #19 was used. It would only create /usr/lib/boo if the Makefile was broken and didn't use DESTDIR properly. If you don't believe me, try it with a simple spec/Makefile that just creates the directory. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
