Tbh Mark, assuming you're using root to build in those locations, it's
very easy for a badly written SPEC or even simply a mistake in the SPEC,
to dump files on your system during the build process causing all sorts
of havoc. Building as an ordinary user is very simple. Install
rpmdevtools from the repo and simply run 'fedora-buildrpmtree' as the
user you wish to use and it'll create the structure needed under the
directory rpmbuild in your homespace. You can then build rpms as the
ordinary user and even rpm -ivh src rpms.
