All-

With rpm 4.4.7 and later, rpm ignores the %clean in the spec file and
instead uses a set of macros to handle post-build cleanup of the build
system.  This was discussed on the rpm devel list and is documented in
the CHANGES, and the new functionality has been working fine.

What I'm after is configuring my personal/system build default so that

- the BuildRoot is NOT removed after a successful rpmbuild
- the Build subdirectory (%_topdir/BUILD/foo-1.0) IS removed after
a successful rpmbuild, but left on an unsuccessful build.

In 4.4.2 this is performed by "rpmbuild --clean <spec>".
If it still true in > 4.4.2 I dont see any reasons for changes.


rpm-4.4.7 and later has refactored BuildRoot: and %clean out of spec files.

Unfortunately there's no fix for legacy spec files except to parse
and ignore the contents. Yet.

Understood.  I was just under the mistaken impression that
%__spec_clean_body is what replaced %clean, so I thought I could
control the replacement for %clean via that macro.  It's not, and
I can't.

I know where it is in the source now, if it bugs me enough I can hack
something else in.
