Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: make possible to pass multiple dirs to `_*dir` macro (#352)

2018-02-12 Thread Panu Matilainen
NAK for paths, it creates more problems than it solves.

Having rpm default to a modern dist-git style layout (or a trivial one-liner 
way to enable it) would be more useful.

There are ways to configure rpmbuild to do everything in the current directory. 
I have published my macros configure file multiple times in the past 15 years.

Adding multiple directories and a search path to existing macros like 
_sourcedir adds complexity for not much gain, and is quite at odds with rpm' 
goal of "reproducible builds" when identically named but differing files are 
found in multiple locations.

There are also issues unpacking *.src.rpm files: which directory to use?
