A number of packages install files to /etc/rpm in Rawhide; the proper place for macros.* is /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d for rpm >= 4.11. And no matter what the location, these files should not be marked as %config. Specfiles not targeting EL < 7 can simply replace %{_sysconfdir}/rpm with %{_rpmconfigdir}/macros.d and ones that wish to stay compatible with EL5 and 6 can do something like this to find the proper dir: %global macrosdir %(d=%{_rpmconfigdir}/macros.d; [ -d $d ] || d=%{_sysconfdir}/rpm; echo $d) List of affected packages follows (maintainer package comaintainers): bkabrda python3 amcnabb,bkabrda,mstuchli,tomspur bkabrda python bkabrda,dmalcolm,ivazquez,jsteffan,mstuchli,tomspur,tradej cicku ldc bioinfornatics deji mpich (none) dledford openmpi dajt,deji,orion epienbro mingw-filesystem ivanromanov,kalev,rjones erikos sugar-toolkit erikos,pbrobinson,sdz,tomeu erikos sugar-toolkit-gtk3 dsd,pbrobinson jakub prelink mjw jcapik octave alexlan,fkluknav,jussilehtola,mmahut,orion,rakesh jjames ffcall salimma jjames gap (none) jjames xemacs stevetraylen jnovy texlive pertusus,than jorton httpd hubbitus,jkaluza jorton php-pear remi,timj jorton php remi jplesnik perl corsepiu,cweyl,iarnell,jplesnik,kasal,perl-sig,ppisar,psabata,spot jussilehtola libint (none) jzeleny scl-utils bkabrda,jzeleny kanarip ruby bkabrda,jstribny,kanarip,mmorsi,mtasaka,skottler,tagoh,vondruch kanarip rubygems kanarip,mtasaka,skottler,stahnma,vondruch kwizart color-filesystem rhughes limb drupal7 asrob,pfrields,siwinski mmorsi jruby bkabrda,goldmann,vondruch mstuchli pypy tomspur msuchy rhn-client-tools mzazrive nim fontpackages fonts-sig,frixxon,tagoh orion hdf5 davidcl,pertusus patches nodejs-packaging humaton,jamielinux,mrunge,sgallagh patches nodejs-tap jamielinux peter erlang-rpm-macros erlang-sig petersen ghc-rpm-macros haskell-sig,petersen phracek emacs jgu,phracek pjones pesign (none) pmatilai redhat-rpm-config jcm,pmatilai ppisar perl-srpm-macros mmaslano,perl-sig rdieter ggz-base-libs (none) rdieter polkit-qt mbriza,rnovacek,than remi php-horde-Horde-Role nb rmattes ros-release (none) rombobeorn fedora-gnat-project-common (none) rstrode GConf2 walters s4504kr blender fcami,hobbes1069,kwizart,roma s4504kr gnustep-make s4504kr,salimma smani keyrings-filesystem (none) sochotni javapackages-tools java-sig,mizdebsk,msimacek,msrb spot generic-release bruno spot R salimma than sip kkofler,ltinkl,rdieter twaugh cups jpopelka -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
