Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907704 Ralf Corsepius <rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx --- Comment #3 from Ralf Corsepius <rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to comment #2) > Main packaging guidelines discourage using macros for plain commands > <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Macros>: > > Macro forms of system executables SHOULD NOT be used except when there is a > need to allow the location of those executables to be configurable. For > example, rm should be used in preference to %{__rm}, but %{__python} is > acceptable. a) %__perl is in a similar position as %__python. b) The wording "SHOULD NOT" means %__perl or other macros are _allowed_ => It's up to a packager's discretion to use it or not. I encourage people to use it and consider people enforcing plain "perl" to commit a mistake. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
