Hello,
I'm new to rpm package development and just joined this list. I'm
trying to create an rpm, but working subdirs of BUILDROOT are getting
deleted between %build and %install. This causes subsequent copy
operations to fail and rpmbuild to error out with a bad exit status.
The `rm -rf` that removes the working dir is not coming from any
explicit statement in my spec file.
I'm copying pertinent lines from shell output, the spec file, and
system configuration below. I'm hopeful someone can suggest a work-
around.
Thanks in advance!
Scott
From shell output. Note the `rm -rf` line (line 18) before the `cp -
r` that expects to access the subdirs, /opt/foo.

I'm using the following one-liner in a bash script to execute the build:
setarch x86_64 rpmbuild -ba --define "_topdir `pwd`" --define "_arch
x86_64" $1
The spec file has this %build section (in its entirety), followed by
the first of the failed copies. Note that these are contiguous lines
of specfile code between %build and %install.
