do NOT build packages as root! any error in the source or SPEC may overwrite files on your running system - the idea behind rpmbuild is to always have a clean buildroot and NEVER touch the hosted system which will not be true if it it started as root NEVER build ANY sources as root even without rpmbuild the only thing which has to be allowed root-permissions is "make install"
