Yes, and it is butt-ugly :) I would like to have a set of macros for
making SPEC files more simple and this would be one of them.
Errr... http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpm-macros-rpmforge/ ?
Yes, but we're not using them because we decided that SPEC files should
work by default without any macros. rpm-macros-rpmforge was more an
experiment.
I guess the whole notion of macros was buried after Fedora flat out
rejected the use of them for their packages. We didn't want to make it
harder for people to take SPEC files and use them elsewhere.
I still stand by that decision, however some more rpm (macro) development
by Red Hat, and backporting those features to RHEL3, RHEL4 and RHEL5 could
be very useful for packagers...
