I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04 and RPM build has stopped working for me.
Instead of using /usr/src/rpm it now wants to use $HOME/rpmbuild
I can update my scripts to use that directory, but then a host of other problems occur.
Does anyone know how I can set the buildroot back to /usr/src/rpm, as it always was?
If I do,
rpmbuild --buildroot /usr/src/rpm program.spec
the buildroot parameter seems to be being ignored.
It is also ignored if I put it into the spec file itself.
Is there a bug in rpmbuild, because I've never seen this happen before. Is there something in my env that I need to set?
(in case anyone is wondering, I build RPMs and then use Alien to create DEB files).
Thanks,
Steve
