Interesting, it breaks Ruby build it seems:

Not sure about the reason, though.

Seems the ruby macros are not expanding properly throughout the spec,
please file a bug.

I'd call this at least partially self-inflicted pain, its the %load
trickery thats failing. Call your own version of %load something else
and it'll work like before.

The syntax for the built-in macro is %{load:<file>} but the argument
is not macro expanded so %{SOURCEn} will get passed in literally.
Which obviously wont work.

Yes, that will do the trick probably.

However, now I am wondering, is there a way how to build SRPM, which is
using the new load feature from 4.12 using old 4.11 RPM? With old RPM,
I've got this error:

```
$ fedpkg srpm
error: line 94: Unknown tag:
/home/vondruch/fedora-scm/maintain/ruby/macros.ruby
error: query of specfile
/home/vondruch/fedora-scm/maintain/ruby/ruby.spec failed, can't parse

Could not execute srpm: need more than 0 values to unpack
```

I suppose the answer is NO, but I hope for some pleasant surprise ;)

For just creating an src.rpm, I suppose you can use a simple spec conditional, eg

# permit src.rpm creation on older versions
%if %{fedora} >= 21
%{load:...}
%endif

Anyway, like mentioned earlier, %{load:%{SOURCE4}} would not have worked yesterday as %{load:} didn't macro-expand its argument, that has been fixed in rpm-4.11.90-0.git12844.3.fc21 (just building now). So thanks for trying to use that feature :)
