That must only be done in the %install section. The Fedora packaging guidelines says that the first command in the %install section must be "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT". If you are using a recent RPM version this will be enforced automatically, which is what happens in this case. %build %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT mkdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT mkdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt mkdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt/foo cp -r schema $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt/foo Mattias
