How do I explain that to you. Lets try it that way:
pick your current spec file and build the rpm as user. It will not work
because you can not write below /etc or /sbin as example.
You use prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT to workaround that fact. The symlink,
created in the Makefile will be:
ln -sv /var/tmp/udev-root/sbin/udev /var/tmp/udev-root/etc/hotplug.d/default
With my patch it will be
ln -sv /sbin/udev /var/tmp/udev-root/etc/hotplug.d/default
no need to remove it and recreate it manually in the specfile.
DESTDIR= is used in many projects to install the files for packaging in
the temporary directory.
