Re: How do I change the tmppath

Or, perhaps better, in ~/.rpmmacros put this lines

%_topdir      %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild
%_tmppath  %{_topdir}/tmp
%_buildroot  %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
%_rpmfilename  %%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm
#
# the latter it is creating all the rpm type(arch,noarch) under
%{_topdir}/RPMS (e.g. the
default exansion of the rpm macros %{_rpmdir} : look at
rpm --eval '%{_rpmdir}' after you have done the above modificatiion on
~/.rpmmacros )


Then

mkdir -p  $HOME/rpmbuild/{SRPMS,RPMS,BUILD,SPECS,tmp}
