== Summary ==
This change should enable an opt-in spec file preprocessor in Fedora
infrastructure for the benefit of packagers. The preprocessor allows
some very neat tricks that were impossible before, for example
generate changelog and release automatically from git metadata or pack
the entire dist-git repository into an rpm-source tarball (effectively
allowing unpacked repos to live in DistGit).
...
I'd very much like to understand the impact of this on the following:
1) Provenpackagers doing mass spec changes/updates.
2) Provenpackagers and/or RelEngs doing (targeted) mass rebuilds.
3) Packagers doing `fedpkg local` builds.
5) Our downstreams rebuilding from dist-git.
4) Packages needed to be installed in buildSRPMFromSCM mock and/or Koji host.
I'd also like to know, where exactly is the spec file pre-processed. Is it in
the buildSRPMFromSCM mock, or on the Koji host?
It feels like this will open a can of worms and I don't think the benefits are
worth it. IMHO we should strive to make RPM specs more flexible instead of
adding another layer on top of it. But I admit that I don't have all the
information yet.
