The above looks ok on first sight, and would look even better if %buildroot was defined as %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%{_target_cpu} which I'd assume to take care of the multiarch simultaneous build issue and not really obfuscate things at all. Too bad it doesn't work very well, for "BuildArch: noarch" packages, %{buildroot} ends up ending with -noarch here as expected, but $RPM_BUILD_ROOT ends with -x86_64. And for example many scripts in /usr/lib/rpm operate on $RPM_BUILD_ROOT. On the other hand, explicit --target to rpmbuild affects both consistently, so I suppose BuildArch (not limited to noarch) in specfiles kicks in too late to affect $RPM_BUILD_ROOT. Reproducer: try rpmbuild -bp with this specfile and the above %buildroot definition in macros somewhere: --- Name: foo Version: 1 Release: 1 Summary: foo Group: foo License: foo BuildArch: noarch %description %prep echo %{buildroot} echo $RPM_BUILD_ROOT --- /var/tmp/foo-1-1-noarch /var/tmp/foo-1-1-x86_64 -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
