Different place containing RPM in copr

[Chenxiong Qi]

Hi,

There is a difference result in copr build. In build[1], the RPM is
placed to package repository root directory directly.

Wrote: /tmp/rpkg-commands-tests-cloned-o2Dtnc/docpkg-1.2-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

But, in my development machine running Fedora 23, the RPM is placed into
an arch directory, e.g.

Wrote:
/tmp/rpkg-commands-tests-cloned-I8vMCg/x86_64/docpkg-1.2-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

Could you help to see why this difference happens in copr?

I just learned that %_build_name_fmt is used to control in which
subdirectory to put the RPMs, its default value is

%%{ARCH}/%%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm

Is this changed in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/?

I have no idea how copr runs a build. Is it safe to create ~/.rpmmacros
in the tests code to ensure the behavior that I want?

How do you build the package. I suspect that you are calling `rpmbuild`
command. You should use `mock`. This is wrapper around rpmbuild, which
create reproducible builds.
Copr you `mockchain` which is wrapper around mock with some additional
features.

The exact command which Copr runs is here:

Yes, rpmbuild is called, but from rpkg local command. I wrote some test
cases for rpkg local command, each of the cases does following two steps
simply

1. invoke local command
2. verify the outcome, e.g. verify the existence of built RPMs

local command calls rpmbuild under the hood. There is mockbuild command
using mock, but local just uses rpmbuild to build RPMs.

So different tools, different directories. I'm not seeing any problem.
