Individual packages are not supposed to know the values of the directory macros since FPC asked for them in part to hide future value changes from individual packagers. Given that to my knowledge the relative symlink thing was never an official Fedora guideline, that chroots are considered broken by security people, that nowadays we have many virtualization options to achieve the same things without hitting absolute symlink and other security problems, and that no one complained during the review phase, I decided against overegineering and used simple absolute links. I'm open to better solutions that avoid the warning as long as the result stays simple and stupid. > The other thing is a minor patch that distinguishes variable from > macro in the same template (attached) That looks harmless enough. If you feel that improves the template legibility I will make the change this week end (but only in rawhide) Are you interested by commit access to the project? -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
