I'm wondering if this is your personal initiative or if you're sync with
ELN people. I emailed them in January about the very same idea (and I
used the very same name; we both seem to like Gentoo), we exchanged
couple emails, but never got an answer if this is the way to go. Since I
have a lot of problems of my own (dnf, rpm, modularity), I did not want
to start this as my personal initiative.
I'm really glad that someone's looking into this finally.
BTW, the new libdnf spec is using this approach already:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/blob/dnf-5-devel/libdnf.spec
Since I'm part of RPM team too, I hope they won't mind if I'll speak for
them :) Don't you rather want to work with us on extending the existing
with/without macros? I'd prefer to improve the existing approach over
creating something brand new. We could also reuse existing rpmbuild
--with/--without arguments and ideally remain backwards compatible.
Besides this, +1 from me
Dne 27. 04. 20 v 13:19 Petr Šabata napsal(a):
Based on the recent discussions around %fedora/%rhel macros and ELN,
and %bcond generally being confusing to work with, I came up with a
distribution-wide feature that defines generic feature keywords and
associated helper macros that packages can check in build-time
conditionals.
The key advantage here is the defaults are defined by the buildroot,
not the package. The package is just a building block.
I'd like some input to improve this and unless this turns out to be a
really bad idea, I intend to submit it as a change proposal. Even
though the more packages use it the more beneficial it gets, it's, of
course, perfectly optional.
