I tried to provide a very simple to follow set of instructions. This is
one of those things that is far easier to do than to explain.
I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE: Corrections, feedback, etc.
Why use a user "nobody" for building the packages when there is already
a user called "nobody" defined for a different purpose? Why not use,
say, "rpmbuild" instead?
Why chown system directories like /usr/src/redhat/* instead of just
creating an rpm-build tree in the user's home directory?
Exactly what I wanted to comment. .rpmmacros should include line like this:
%_topdir /home/amilivojevic/rpm
Than, you don't need to change ownership on system files/directories.
