An additional item has been added to the Packaging/Guidelines (as a
subsection to BuildRoot):
Prepping BuildRoot For %install
It is important to properly prepare the BuildRoot in the %install
section of your package before it is used. Every Fedora package MUST
have an %install section that begins with either:
%install
rm -rf %{buildroot}
or
%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
This is to ensure that the BuildRoot will be created fresh during the
%install section.
Also, the following has been added to Packaging/ReviewGuidelines:
- MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf
%{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT). See Prepping BuildRoot For %install
for details.
This change was approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee and ratified
by FESCO.
