NAME

4     shortrpm — Short-circuit binary RPM package build
5

SYNOPSIS

7     shortrpm [-bb] [--short-circuit] [rpmbuild options]
8

DESCRIPTION

10     shortrpm tricks rpmbuild(1) into thinking certain scriptlets in SPEC file
11     are empty, effectively skipping their run and proceeding to build the
12     binary package from files from previous %install scriptlet run in Build‐
13     Root. The trickery only takes place if both -bb and --short-circuit
14     options are specified.
15
16     See rpmbuild(1) manual for descriptions of all options.
17

BUGS

19     Line numbers in eventual error messages may not correspond to actual line
20     numbers in SPEC file.
21
22     open(3) function is overriden for rpmbuild's children as well.
23
24     If rpmbuild(1) crashes when using shortrpm please do not send problem
25     report to RPM developers unless you can reproduce the problem with clean
26     RPM as well.
