That's the wrong way of looking at it, there is nothing prepended.
The %files section contains the target pathnames of the package and
the target root tree is stored under BuildRoot while building the
package.
Jos-
Can you explain more why it's wrong? While what Anh said may not be
*exactly* what's happening, it's conceptually useful. I'm very
intrigued
to find out why you think what he said is "wrong".
Hehe, I almost replied with a similar comment as Jos.
All depends on your POV, kinda like daylight savings time.
For a build POV, $RPM_BUILD_ROOT is an added prefix to the install path.
For a install POV, $RPM_BUILD_ROOT is a deleted prefix from the
staging path.
The rest is just the way human brains work. ;-)
