Description

Currently "make rpms" will create a temporary directory with mktemp to hold the intermediate build products, and this ends up in /tmp. This can cause issues if it is not large enough to hold the full build product. Allow specifying "BUILDDIR=DIR" to redirect the intermediate build products into the specified directory. This allows you to run:

BUILDDIR=/var/tmp make rpms
