Having rpmbuild to put its output in the current directory

Mikolaj Izdebski showed me how to do this.

To have rpmbuild put its outputted RPM and/or SRPM in the current directory, add the following lines to your ~/.rpmmacros :

%_topdir %{lua:print(posix.getcwd())}

%_builddir %{_topdir}/builddir

%_rpmdir %{_topdir}

%_sourcedir %{_topdir}

%_specdir %{_topdir}

%_srcrpmdir %{_topdir}

%_buildroot %{_topdir}/root

You can then run a command like `rpmbuild -ba foo.spec`
