Thanks for that. It looks like Fedora 32 added the new %sysusers_create_compat macro. That means the guidelines apply to all supported Fedora versions but not to EL7 & EL8. Is this something that would normally be noted in the docs or are the docs intended as purely Fedora? As a packager I feel it should be mentioned that given EPEL falls under the Fedora umbrella.
There is this chapter of guidelines: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_applicability
Ideally speaking the macros would become available in EL7 & EL8 but I'm guessing that's unlikely
Speaking with my Red Hat hat on, maintainers typically tries to backport as much as possible. However, not everything is possible to backport. But the best way to provide feedback about RHEL is by contacting RH support to help prioritize your issue.
Please note that you might also consider to use CentOS Stream to propose your suggestions. Certainly for RHEL 9.
, especially for EL7.

I see some decent macros but these are incompatible with EL7. What would be the recommendation for RPM specs that should work on EL7 and newer?[1]: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/UsersAndGroups/_______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelinesList Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
