RPM: populate BUILDROOT by default #140

What if RPM_BUILD_ROOT isn't set?

marcosfrm commented 9 months ago

It is always set. Guaranteed to be non-empty and different from / since RPM 4.6 (16 years ago!):

We can use the %{buildroot} macro too. It is expanded before the shell runs, while $RPM_BUILD_ROOT is an environment variable set by RPM for use in the spawned shell. Personally, I prefer $RPM_BUILD_ROOT.

marcosfrm commented 9 months ago

%{buildroot} and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT evaluate to the same value.
