This SHOULD have read wyat is in ~/.rpmmacros.
You can verify with
rpm --showrc | grep _topdir
If I want to set /workspace/rpmwork as the topdir (which would contain
SPECS, SOURCES, RPMS, etc), what should the contents of .rpmmacros be
?
I've tried the following:
topdir=/workspace/rpmwork
_topdir=/workspace/rpmwork
topdir:/workspace/rpmwork
_topdir:/workspace/rpmwork
All macros in configuration file loads have to start with '%' in
1st column.
So you need this
%_topdir/workspace/rpmwork

I have in fact been building as above for years but haven't changed the RPM default because of a Principle of Least Surprise and doco consistency that simply does not matter any more. Ok, thanks for the heads up.
