Re: Buildroot being ignored

The "NEW" rpm functionality was implemented years ago from Jeff Johnson (https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/rpm-devel/2006-August/001348.html).

In RPM 5 (http://rpm5.org)  it work well

Also the test case (http://rpm.org/attachment/ticket/10/a.spec) work correctly in RPM5.

Buildroot from spec is ignored on purpose in rpm 4.6.0. That specs should
(have to) define their own buildroot is simply bad design and a leftover
from ancient times.

There's one known bug wrt the new buildroot handling, namely that specs
which have subpackages whose version differs from the main package
version doesn't work right: http://rpm.org/ticket/10
