topdir

[Steven Osborn]

I'm trying to build an rpm into my own RPM directory instead of
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS, but I haven't had any luck. I've read several
tutorials online, but they all seem to be outdated and don't work for
me. If tried adding a number of things to my rpmrc file, but I can't
get it to work.

Thanks,
Steven

Just put in your $HOME/.rpmmacros
%_topdir /path/to/rpm/tree

And create the subdirectories:
mkdir -p /path/to/rpm/tree/{RPMS,SOURCES,BUILD,SPECS,SRPMS}

I'm running rpmbuild from a script, is there anyway to tell rpmbuild to
use an rpmmacro file I specify? I see how to specify my own spec file,
but that's not exactly doing the trick.

rpmbuild --define '_topdir /path/to/rpm/tree' ...

A trick you can use is set $HOME to some temp dir, in which you
generate dynamically the .rpmmacros you wish.
