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

[Panu Matilainen]

Part of the problem is the lengths people go to in order to use %setup for unpacking sources even when it ends up being counter-beneficial. Just call it once to setup the main directory and do the rest with tar/unzip/whatever. It's not like the magic %setup incantation required to unpack dozen sources in just the right combo is going to be somehow easier to understand than doing the same manually as a script.

Another point is that indeed, if it's not supposed to be used more than once then rpm should prevent that, or at least warn about it. Telling people "it's not supposed to be used that way" doesn't scale.
