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.


Well ...

I don't have direct answer to your question, but if I wanted to have an answer to this question, I'd try to go back in history, so this would be my start:

And this is the place where the guidelines lived previously:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:UsersAndGroups

If RHEL7 was released on June 10, 2014, the guidelines somewhere around that date should work. But best would be to try as recent version of the guidelines as possible.

I'm looking at modernizing the upstream Jenkins RPM packaging and reading through the packaging guidelines[1]. 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?
