[AG-TECH] question about gpt RPM installation

[Joseph]

Hi everyone

I have a question about gpt installation.

In fact, I'm opening the src.rpm using Debian command alien -t then I read 
the *.spec file to see how it works and reproduce quite the same thing.

However, I have been suprised by the gtp spec file from gpt-1.0-2.src.rpm 
. Indeed, the %build is :

%build
export GPT_LOCATION=%{buildroot}%{prefix}
./build_gpt

with
%define name            gpt
%define version         1.0
%define prefix          /usr/lib/%{name}
%define buildroot       /var/tmp/%{name}-%{version}

As %post there is just :
cat <<EOF > /etc/profile.d/gpt.sh
#!/bin/sh
GPT_LOCATION=%{prefix}
export GPT_LOCATION
EOF

When I do it, all the installation files are installed in 
/var/tmp/gtp-1.0/usr/lib/gpt and there is nothing else about GPT, I think, 
on the hard disk.

Do I have to understand that this package is installed in 
/var/tmp/gpt-1.0/usr/lib/gpt even if the GPT_LOCATION, setup at the end of 
the script, is /usr/lib/gpt ? Is it right ?

I find it really surprising since /var/tmp should be a temporary file... 
Can you confirm it ?

Cheers,
     Joseph


ps : BTW, here is the full gtp.spec :
%define name            gpt
%define version         1.0
%define release         2
%define prefix          /usr/lib/%{name}
%define sysconfdir      %{prefix}/etc
%define buildroot       /var/tmp/%{name}-%{version}
