[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Permit %load/%expand recursive expansion while reading a macrofile (#410)
A very minor patch to permit immediate expansion of %load/%expand while parsing
key/value configuration in static macro file configuration would usefully
increase the flexibility of rpmbuild configuration.
All I am suggesting is to handle %{load:...} and %{expand:...} as special cases
while reading configuration.
The boring problem of infinite %load recursion if, say, a macrofile tries to
load itself in a loop can be prevented by testing the recursion depth and
error'ing out with a message if %load is looping

RPM uses macros instead of envvars to increase reproducibility of builds. How rpm is configured, and how rpmbuild is invoked, are matters that you need to take up with build systems. That would also be true if envvar's were used instead of macros. Note that there is (or at least was) a 3rd way to change macros to load while building, using a macro files directive in rpmrc configuration. I dunno whether that mechanism is still supported or recommended. In summary, you now have 3 mechanisms, 2 of which permit patterns, to customize rpmbuild to taste. You need to address further questions with build system maintainers, not rpm. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Thank you for the suggestion, I think we shall follow this! -- With best regards, Vladimir D.

Alternatively, choose known file names, and use a %load for each file in a spec file. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Then invoke rpmbuild with --macros, appending your patterns at the end of the colon separated list. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Configurable macro file search path(s) (#363)
I am looking for a way to tell RPM that there might be some paths which might contain arbitrary macro files. If such files are located, they should be loaded by RPM. IOW given there is metapackage like this \[[1]\] and I have installed rh-ruby22-runtime package and I call ```scl enable rh-ruby22 bash```, in this environment, I'd like RPM to be able to pickup macro files which might be located in ```/opt/rh/rh-ruby22/root/urs/lib/rpm/macros.d/``` directory.

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Configurable macro file search path(s) (#363)
What exactly are you looking for? You have yet to post any example here that does not include a pattern when the documentation for %load explicitly says "file". Have you tried strace to verify that rpm is trying to load a file? -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Configurable macro file search path(s) (#363)
I am not surprised at all that the wildcard is not supported. I am just surprised I am suggested to use ```%load``` where it is not usable in its current form. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
