# Custom RPM macros configuration file for building RPM packages # as a non-root user. # # Author: Mike A. Harris# # This is a copy of my own personal RPM configuration which I use # on my workstation for building and testing packages for Red Hat Linux. # There are many different possibilities on how to configure RPM, so # feel free to tweak however you desire. Make sure to create any # directories that are referenced prior to using. RPM will automatically # create some of them if missing, but not all of them. Which ones it # auto-creates is only known by the extraterrestrial aliens that have # created RPM. # # For ANY help with anything related to RPM development, packaging, # or customization, please join the Red Hat RPM mailing list by sending # an email message to: rpm-list-request@redhat.com with the word # "subscribe" in the Subject: line. # # Any suggestions/comments/ for improvements to this setup appreciated. %_signature gpg %_gpg_name T.
