You don't :) These things have moved to ~/.rpmmacros a very long time ago, 
rpmrc was used somewhere in the RPM 3.x days.

Just put the following in ~/.rpmmacros and forget you ever heard about 
rpmrc:

%_topdir /home/lucas/rpm
%_tmppath /home/lucas/rpm/tmp

..or less "hardcoded":

%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpm
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp
