I think what we would like to avoid is hardcoding it in the binary rpm. One of the goals of Fedora is to have our rpms used as is in downstream respins, where it would be inappropriate for the rpm to define our bugzilla as the bug filing location. But if I get what you're saying right, you could have it hardcoded in the rpm for a case where it isn't defined (at least in part) in a macro file on the users's system, and when there is a macro file that defines it on the users's system, use that definition instead of the one in the rpm itself. Is that what you're saying? We'd also want to avoid a flag day of mass rebuilding any time we want to change the landing point for people to query/file bugs for a package. For now, in the rpm itself, I don't think it's unreasonable to use http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/%{name} although I think in the future we'll want a redesigned landing spot that doesn't confuse users with unnecessary fedora account system data, conflicting login buttons, etc.. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
