5.285. rpmdevtools
Updated rpmdevtools packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The rpmdevtools packages contain scripts and (X)Emacs support files to aid in development of RPM packages.
Bug Fix
- BZ#730770
- Prior to this update, the sample spec files referred to a deprecated BuildRoot tag. The tag was ignored if it was defined. This update removes the BuildRoot tags from all sample spec files.
All users of rpmdevtools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
