Well I know no such a thing, there was never any gosetup macro in the
macro set, and I think I told you a year ago I would not define a
gosetup macro just to avoid typing forgesetup, unless it actually added
some processing over the forgesetup macro. That would obfuscate specs
for no good reason and increase gratuituously the maintenance surface
(as we see *now*).

And I doubt -q is your problem, since (*precisely for backwards
compatible reasons) it is still accepted by forgesetup (even though it's
ignored, because it’s the default behaviour now).

Oh, I see, I forgot to add a phantom -q to forgeautosetup as it already
was already its default behaviour. So you're forcing somewhere a -q that
I don't think was ever needed. I will add the -q to the macro definition
if that makes you feel better.

So, no biggie. Easy to fix. That's why such changes hit -devel before
anyone dreams of queuing them to stable.

What package exactly installs your gosetup macro in /usr/lib/rpm so I
can see what other things it tries to do? I see no macro file in the
Fedora gofed package manifests.

If you could PR your changes to the official Fedora packages that
coordinate Fedora go macros (the go-macros repository on github, that
will be rehosted in pagure as soon as the @rh contributors ok the move)
instead of doing it in other places, that would be a tad easier to
coordinate.

So basically, you have a macro, which sole purpose is to pass
precomputed -n values to *setup, and you want to use it with manual -n
flags. Why? Could you tell us what exactly is the point of

1. wrapping a Fedora macro in another name just because you do not like
the official macro name in Fedora
2. overriding the only thing this macro does over autosetup
3. and then complaining all the argument passing to autosetup does not
work as you wish it does

So all this complexity, because what you really want is to use autosetup
directly. Then just do. What's the problem exactly with typing autosetup
in your spec? No one stops you from doing it.

One reason I removed the -n in forgeautosetup and forgesetup precisely
to stop packagers confusing themselves the way you are confusing
yourself.

The other being -n is incompatible with the processing of multiple
archives that many people asked me to add to the macros. Which is
finally implemented after months of work. And which just hit rawhide
after more than a month of review.

So, do you have actual spec files in Fedora with this use of the redhat-
rpm-config macros? If that is the case, I can put those flags in the
macros so you can continue shooting yourself in the foot using undefined
known-broken use patterns. If not, I'd rather remove the possibility
altogether before someone harms himself.

And that concretely, if why pre-generating specs instead of making the
effort to include default processing in the macro code Fedora ships is
wrong.
