So making a symlink was easier than writing a ~/.rpmmacros file. But my question, simply, is: - is the use of a symlink for these purposes prohibited? - if not, it probably makes sense to report it as a bug, right? --- Thanks, Franta Hanzlik ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

But sometimes I need to build an RPM package "in the field", at my colleagues/friends/... machines - and I don't use the ~/.rpmmacros file there, and I symlink ~/rpmbuild to another location/partition quite often. And I haven't noticed a problem, until now, with this package... Oh well, I'll remember that a symlink might not be a good idea in this case... --- Thanks, Franta Hanzlík ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
