--- Comment #25 from Bryn M. Reeves <[email protected]> --- > Please use %{buildroot} over ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT} so that paths are consistently > evaluated through the macro engine. For consistency it would be nice if the Fedora Packaging Guidelines picked a side on this. The current text reads: "There is very little value in choosing one style over the other, since they will resolve to the same values in all scenarios. You should pick a style and use it consistently throughout your packaging." https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_using_buildroot_and_optflags_vs_rpm_build_root_and_rpm_opt_flags The RPM Packaging Guide does express a preference (for the same reason you give), but hasn't been updated in over two years and lacks any discussion of %generate_buildrequires and other newer features: https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/ > This is a spec build section that runs after %prep and before %build, so > please consider placing it there in the spec file too. Thanks. I was lead astray by the Python example at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DynamicBuildRequires#Python Which places the %generate_buildrequires after the BuildRequires. Even reading: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pyproject-rpm-macros It's not clearly stated where these should go (other than an example under the provisional Declarative Buildsystem section) - I should have referred to the examples in: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
