[Fedora-packaging] buildroot race condition

[Till Maas]

Hello,

an OpenSUSE packager made me aware of a race condition problem with a lot of 
fedora specs:

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2007-02/msg00005.html

A lot of specs and the template specs from rpmdev-newspec use following:

%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
# racing time
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/bla/foo

The solution is to make the following mandatory:
%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
mkdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT # this fails when $RPM_BUILD_ROOT already exists

Regards,
Till
