You can also build as non-root by creating a ~/.rpmmacros directory with this line in it: %_topdir /home/buildmeister/topdir Then under topdir create subdirectories BUILD, RPMS, SRPMS, SOURCES, and SPECS (same tree that's normally under /usr/src/redhat). I never package as root, as a rogue spec file could cause all kinds of havoc. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
