Hi, I have tarred up my post install build checks that found the /bin /sbin linked to /usr problems. It can be downloaded from: http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/rpmbuild-checks.tar.gz The tarball has installation instructions in the README file. If any test fails, it stops the build and rpms are not written. I have about 10 checks and would like to add more. I would also like to take any contributions that can look for problems at build time. The intent is to find problems in local builds before pushing it out to Koji for an official build.
