Why are my binary files going into the bin/ folder

[Paul Krauss]

Creating a binary only rpm with 2 executables in it

I am creating the *.rpm as a non-root user by setting the %_topdir in
.rpmmacros

My BuildRoot in the *.spec is set to /opt/%{name}

My .rpm is created in the /RPMS folder and I ship it to my destination
computer.

 

However, when I install the rpm on the destination computer the binaries
are put in the /bin/ folder

 

Why aren't they going into the /opt/ folder like I wanted?

 

Thanks
