Packages are named (this is their full path):
%{_rpmdir}/%{_build_name_fmt}
So this little bash script will produce that path if you provided
their name, version, release and arch in that order (NVRA).
N=$1
V=$2
R=$3
A=$4
rpm \
--define "NAME ${N}" \
--define "VERSION ${V}" \
--define "RELEASE ${R}" \
--define "ARCH ${A}" \
--eval '%{expand:%{_rpmdir}/%{_build_name_fmt}}'
Alternatively, most everywhere the package gets named:
N-V-R.A.rpm
And they end up under "%{_rpmdir}/A/"
So you can simply get the value of %_rpmdir and and just build the
rest of the path, but the above script can work when the value of
_build_name_fmt has been changed.
