Did the behaviour of rpmbuild change again?
I remember in the past that rpmbuild (or it may have been back in
the days of rpm -b) would file to build the rpms I was trying to
build because there were files in the buildroot that were not in
the specfile. This was actually quite useful to me.
I just built a set of rpms and was surprised that one in
particular did build when it shouldn't have since a file was
missing from the specfile.
Does anyone know if that is a bug or a feature change?
(Currently running rpm-build 4.2.3-13)
