I did this patch because /etc/rpm/macros.* will included macros.*.rpmsave/.rpmnew and other vim backup. And it's exactly the case on my own laptop (installed as Mageia): $ ls /etc/rpm macros macros.d/ macros.fjava macros.jpackage macros.rpmnew Notice the macros.rpmnew ! Upstream just sucks to not see this issue, even jbj has admit the problem. This patch is not the most problematic in rpm as it's just a line in the configuration. -- Olivier Thauvin CNRS - LATMOS ♖ ♘ ♗ ♕ ♔ ♗ ♘ ♖
