[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: set builsubdir to the *first* extracted archive not the last one (#551)

[Jeff Johnson]

Even simpler -- only one line of code needs to change -- would be to define _buildsubdir only if it is not already defined.

That might even permit overriding _buildsubdir to be set from the spec file, or -- with Yet Another POPT alias -- from the rpmbuild command line.

And of course %setup becomes even more complex and counter intuitive because the behavior then starts to be convolved with how a spec file is written, or how rpmbuild is invoked.

And %setup then starts to diverge from documented 20yo behavior.

(aside)
I recommend these solutions merely to shut you up and watch this RFE be closed: I'm tired of your pontifications about rpm's unfriendly user behavior that do not include PR's.
