PASS" The RPM maintainer(s) can probably tell you since how long it has been impossible to build with BuildRoot='/' -- just try it with --buildroot=/ or a modified spec file. It is a fatal error. It is no theoretical threat anymore. Maybe somewhere on this world there really is somebody who has ever before done something stupid with such a buildroot definition. But it is terribly difficult to find such victims or even bug reports about it. During review, using --buildroot (or mock) is recommended anyway, since the default path may point to a place that is low on free space. /tmp versus /var/tmp versus %_tmppath. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
