In regard to: Re: Can i build/output .rpm package to directory other than...: >Tim and all, > >Yes, after reviewing the max-rpm doc. Seems like one of the way to do it is >to use rpmrc file. rpmrc is deprecated, the new file name is /etc/rpm/macros (system-wide customizations) and $HOME/.rpmmacros (per-user customizations). The format of the file is also slightly different. If you want to change any of rpm's myriad settings, start by examining /usr/lib/rpm/macros. Find the macro in there that controls the thing you want to change, for example %_topdir. Now, if you want to change this system wide, you put a new setting for %_topdir in /etc/rpm/macros (creating that file if it doesn't exist). If you just want to change it for yourself (or your software build account), you put that setting in your personal .rpmmacros file. If you want your RPM hierarchy (SOURCES, SPECS, BUILD, RPMS, etc.) to exist under /home/build/RPM, you could have %_topdir /home/build/RPM in the build account's personal .rpmmacros file. You would need to create the appropriate directories under there, i.e. cd /home/build/RPM mkdir -p SOURCES SPECS BUILD SRPMS RPMS/i386 RPMS/i686 RPMS/noarch One you have them and a .rpmmacros files that says that %_topdir is /home/build/RPM, your build account will look for sources in /home/build/RPM/SOURCES, your %prep and %build will happen in /home/build/RPM/BUILD, your SRPMS will end up /home/build/RPM/SRPMS, etc. Tim -- Tim Mooney mooney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Information Technology Services (701) 231-1076 (Voice) Room 242-J6, IACC Building (701) 231-8541 (Fax) North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58105-5164 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
