The point of the macros is to ensure consistent use of paths between the configure, install, and packaging stages so that builds don't break if there are changes in any part of the chain. %configure uses those macros. If spec files were allowed to not use the macros, then changes to %configure would break the spec files. So if you are going to remove the requirement for the macros in spec files, then the behavior of %configure should not be reliant on the macros either. In fact, all use of such macros should be removed (not disallowed, but removed from use in the standard build macros). -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
