The environment is the Fedora install, with all RPMs, configuration, and
files in home directories – everything that could potentially affect the
RPM build process. A repeatable environment is one that you can specify
and be sure that if someone else follows the specification, they will
have precisely the same bits on disk.

In particular, it means that if there is some compile oddity with the
RPM you produce, someone else can reproduce the environment on their
system to help debug the problem.

Hope this helps,

James.
