Yeah, i thought that. But if the build is run as a user, well the user
just loses his home dir but if this is run as root ... well ... you
become a real luser :) Ok, you are quite right here.

Eh, you really do main surgery on this thing, right?
Is this stuff documented, especially how one is going to use that
thing to cleanup after the build. What will rpm choose as BuildRoot
in this version?

Yeah, but this does not delete the build dir i.e. ../BUILD/bla-123.
That was my question. What is the way[tm] to get rid of that dir.
Using --clean or a script in the specfile.
But i bet you will tell me know that it doesn't matter that much, right :)
Thanks a lot
