Other Build Options

• These options come in handy for debugging:

  • rpm -bp executes just the %prep section
  • rpm -bc executes the %prep and %build sections
  • rpm -bi executes %prep, %build, and %install
  • rpm -bl checks the %files list
  • --short-circuit option skips previous sections, executing just the last section specified by the -b option.
  • -v option makes build more verbose
