At the begining of my build, I need:

Why do you think you need to do that?
Here is what happens when running $fedpkg --dist f25 prep:
-------------------------------------
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.zJOa1Q
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/makerpm/rpmbuild
+ cd /home/makerpm/rpmbuild
+ rm -rf platform-master
+ /usr/bin/unzip -qq /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/master.zip
^^^ (!) Notice what the %autosetup macro did in the lines above!

+ cd platform-master <<< ==== WHY ??
Because you added "-n platform-master" to the %autosetup macro,
which is the top-level directory to change into for every spec file
section (%prep, %build, %install, even %files section access that
directory when using %doc to include local files, for example).
It seems I am inside the directory I want to move, platform-master.
Why do I cd this directory? How to avoid it so I am able to move this
directory? Or best, how can I unzip the content of master.zip in src/
github.com/mattermost/platform?
_Why_ do you want to do that?
