== Detailed Description ==
RPM 4.18 contains various improvements over previous versions, but in
particular this release addresses a whole class of symlink handling
related security issues, some with CVE's, from 2021. Other notable
improvements include
* A more intuitive conditional builds macro `%bcond`
I looked this up[1] because it caught my attention. This is an
extremely welcome change and I would like to shower praise upon
everyone who worked on it.
Big +1 from me too, this is so good to see. Thanks Panu & all.
I like this so much I've opened Fedora 36 and 35 backports:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/pull-request/182
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/pull-request/183
Will also try to see if this is technically possible in c9s.
It should be possible to put it in epel-rpm-macros at the worst, no?
(Related: can we get a backport to EPEL 8 and EPEL 9?)
What I've meant by "technically possible": Does the RPM version in EL 9
support the syntax used in the macro?
If it does, it can go to EPEL 9 and even to c9s eventually, if accepted.
If it doesn't, we might need to use a different syntax which would
require more work. This also applies to EL 8, but I suspect even more
problems there.
The %bcond macro relies on a %[] expression which requires rpm >= 4.16,
so EL9 should be okay, older ones wont work.
