Mezzanine (http://www.kainx.org/mezzanine/) can already do this. "mzbuild foo.src.rpm" will create the topdir and all directories beneath the cwd and will build there as well. The build root goes to /var/tmp/ by default, but that's easily changed with a command line option. The completed RPMS/SRPMS are copied to the current directory upon successful build, and all created directory trees are removed. (In the event of build failure, directories and files remain intact for debugging purposes.) Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
