~/.rpmmacros and ~/rpmbuild files are owned by root user

[bschonec]

I'm using your image to build RPM packages on Gitlab with CI/CD pipelines. I need to modify the /home/rpmbuilder/.rpmmacros file so that the Gitlab pipeline can find the resulting SRPM and RPM files but since the file/directory are owned by root, I have to "sudo echo My_Great_Macro 1 >> ~/.rpmmacros".

This is a bit jankey and I recommend ensuring the .rpmmacros and rpmbuild file/directory are owned by the rpmbuilder user.

Since Centos 8 is deprecated and the yum repos archived, I'm closing this issue.

@bschonec it may be worthwhile to switch to Rocky or Alma. Also, if you could PR what you're after we could implement that. Although to be fair, this is not a package we use very often ourselves.

edit: both version are currently available on Docker Hub. We've dropped the old CentOS 8 version.

Ironic that you state that you don't use this very often as it was the second hit from DuckDuckGo for "docker rpmbuid image". 😊

I'll put together a PR tomorrow.
