"Doctor, it hurts when I do that."
'rpmbuild -bs' is broken. Don't use it.
Could you please elucidate why the command that people have used for nearly 30 years and is the most documented on how to build rpms is broken? And how people should use instead when they may be dealing with an environment which doesn't allow fedpkg to work? [AKA I am working on a package which I want to submit for review so I need to build a @$@$% src RPM somehow and I am being told I can't use the built in command to do so]
OK I have started off the year with a cranky email. My apologies for that as I should have gone back to read the context which this was being said in. [I am usually all for removing extra stuff from an email to make it short and sweet, and then go read what I might have missed.. however in this case I didn't and just barked like a mad dog.]
