The created directories serve the following purposes:

Annuaire	Objectif
BUILD	When packages are built, various `%buildroot` directories are created here. This is useful for investigating a failed build if the logs output do not provide enough information.
RPMS	Binary RPMs are created here, in subdirectories for different architectures, for example in subdirectories `x86_64` and `noarch`.
SOURCES	Here, the packager puts compressed source code archives and patches. The `rpmbuild` command looks for them here.
SPECS	The packager puts SPEC files here.
SRPMS	When `rpmbuild` is used to build an SRPM instead of a binary RPM, the resulting SRPM is created here.
