--- Comment #9 from Jason Tibbitts tibbs@math.uh.edu 2012-04-25 20:15:03 EDT --- Unless you're packaging for EL5, you don't need to clean out the buildroot at the beginning of %install. You also don't need a BuildRoot: line, or a %clean section if you're not targeting EL5. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRoot_tag and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Distribution_specif... have the details.
No (supported) release of EPEL or Fedora needs the %defattr line. Maybe EL4 needed it but that's EOL now.
