How do I change the tmp path that RPM uses? I am trying to build the RPM
in my local user account but bases it off of root ('/'). With my own
macros, I change the tmp path, during the build process, I can echo the
tmp path and see that I changed it but it always adds '/' in the front.
For example, if I set the path to ./my_temp, it becomes /./my_temp.
One reason for the change, is I did a build and it put it in /tmp (not
./tmp). Well it failed and left the structure in /tmp/package-1.0.3. A
co-worker started a build on the same computer but was prevented from
doing the build since I owned /tmp/package-1.0.3. He had to wait until I
deleted the directory tree in /tmp
Yup, the commonly used "BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}"
and variants dont work very well in multiuser environment.
Just put something like this into ~/.rpmmacros to make your builds
private:
%_tmppath %(echo $HOME)/tmp/
