Another nice feature would be to have all Scriptlets from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets that are used in other distros, too, to be available in rpm directly. E.g. instead of having to copy the code from there, rpm could automatically detect whether or not an desktop, mimeinfo, shared library, font, icon or texinfo file was installed or removed and run the appropiate scriptlet. Also having macros that can be used in %file, that work like %doc for documentation, but for the some of the filetypes above would be nice, too. E.g. %desktopfile %SOURCE1 would copy %SOURCE1 where desktopfiles belong, rename it to %name.desktop and run the needed scriptlets. For icons and maybe mimeinfo, this may be useful, too. And also for selinux files, so that they are installed and updated correctly. Also it would be nice when there would be some macro that expands to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir} but is shorter or even better when %{_libdir} expands to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir} in %install but to %{_libdir} everywhere else.
