What I personally do is create an .rpmmacros file in my home directory:
[ewilts@corpftp ewilts]$ cat .rpmmacros
%_topdir /home/ewilts/rpm
This allows me to rebuild all the source RPMs I get without touching /usr/src.
I also build the rpm directory as follows:
[ewilts@corpftp ewilts]$ ls --color=never -FR rpm
rpm:
BUILD/ RPMS/ SOURCES/ SPECS/
rpm/BUILD:
rpm/RPMS:
i386/
rpm/RPMS/i386:
rpm/SOURCES:
rpm/SPECS:
I hope this at least helps you work in your home directory.
Cheers,
