It's really not hard, it just takes a couple of minutes of one-time
setup. Make a file ~/.rpmmacros containing (in my case)
%_topdir /home/tgl/rpmwork
then create the directory ~/rpmwork and under it the five directories
BUILD/ RPMS/ SOURCES/ SPECS/ SRPMS/
Now you put your SRPMS in ~/rpmwork/SRPMS and run rpmbuild there,
same as you would do in /usr/src/redhat, you're just not root.
Much safer.
(Obviously, you can put your rpmwork directory wherever you want and
call it whatever you want, adjusting the _topdir macro to match.
What I show above is the customary thing for Red Hat engineers,
though.)
