rpmbuild clearing buildroot as part of preinstall
-------------------------------------------------
Key: MRPM-66
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRPM-66
Project: Mojo RPM Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.0.1, 2.0, 2.0-beta-4, 2.0-beta-3
Environment: fedora
Reporter: Brett Okken
Assignee: Brett Okken
Newer versions of rpm include a macro for preinstall that clears the buildroot.
This breaks the rpm plugin since the plugin utilizes the configuration to
populate the buildroot prior to calling rpmbuild.
There is some discussion[1] on this issue and possible solutions.
One workaround is to put '%global __spec_install_pre %{___build_pre}' in the
spec file. This basically overwrites whatever is in the macro. This seems like
a reasonable short term workaround, but not a long term solution.
The approach they took was to populate a "temporary" build root and "mv" it to
the "real" buildroot as part of %install.
