Why does rpmbuild ignore BuildRoot in spec file?
Issue
- I used rpmdev-newspec to generate a sample .spec file to start my own .spec
BuildRoot in .spec file generated by rpmdev-newspec:
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
Actual BuildRoot used by RPM:
$HOME/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- rpmdevtools-7.5-1.el6.noarch
