Do I understand it correctly that modules should reimplement the %_use_ncurses
macro? That's really clumsy and I'd like to avoid it. Not speaking about the
issues with recursion you are aware and I was hoping you found a solution.
Modules would have to simply redefine the macro covering all packages built in
the module.Since you use Lua (because RPM conditions are not allowed there), wouldn't be better to export the mapping from a package name to a feature as a Lua associative array? Modules would then just added/rewrote a tuple there and than call a Lua function to regenerate the %_use macros? Actually if the generation of the macros was postponed to a spec file, there would not have to exist any local.yaml file. That way the spec file would be be self-contained. I agree with others that separating the local overrides into local.yaml maintained in a different package is not handy and slows the packager's work flow. -- Petr
