We could keep the macro's in the spec for at least until 9.1 is relea-
sed. I mean people that want to rebuild srpms on 9.0 or 8.2 usually know
what they are doing and I wouldn't want to break that.
We could later on let them "patch" the macros with something like:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "`grep _Xprefix /usr/lib/rpm/macros`" ]; then
cat <<EOF>>/usr/lib/rpm/macros
%{_Xprefix} /usr/X11R6
blahblahblah
blah
EOF
else
echo "Your macros already seem to be patched" >&2
fi
