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
Great: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/1143
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.
With my own Red Hat hat I'm well aware of this :)
Please note that you might also consider to use CentOS Stream to
propose your suggestions. Certainly for RHEL 9.
I didn't check, but I since EL9 is based on Fedora 34 and this was
added in Fedora 32 I assumed it will be present. I guess it could be
submitted to Stream 8.
, especially for EL7.
Well ...

That's why I said it. Technically on EL7 there is no systemd-rpm-macros
package so it could be introduced in EPEL7 but that's rather ugly so I'd
rather not touch that.

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:
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/history/guidelines/modules/ROOT/pages/UsersAndGroups.adoc
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?
