Proposal: It is important to carefully handle the !BuildRoot during %install, to ensure that it is created fresh. I propose that the following be added to the Packaging/Guidelines (as a subsection to [wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#BuildRoot 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 will be added to Packaging/ReviewGuidelines:
- MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot} ([wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#UsingBuildRootOptFlags or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT] ). See [wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#PreppingBuildRootForInstall Prepping BuildRoot For %install] for details.
