The mantra on the packaging committee is that we work with the RPM we have, not the RPM we wish we had. This has been an issue in RPM since before Fedora existed and it's still there, so we have little choice but to adapt. Even if RPM does start handling this, the need to handle older releases won't go away for quite some time. It would be really nice if the scriptlet were at least put in a macro. That way there would be only one place needing modification to fix an issue like this, the macro would just be defined to %nil on releases where it is not needed, and it would be trivial to find packages that use it for testing and eventual cleanup. - J< -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
