Michael Schwendt: > Do you parse them all without testing? >From your question I was kind of expecting some surprising exception. But when I tested they all behaved the way I would have thought. But it doesn't matter. I understand I'm not convincing anyone, and I'll change my package to follow this rule. One more detail before I go away. Spec files do contain small scripts (%build, %post, etc.) These scripts can use both spec file macros and shell variables. The exchangable %{buildroot} and ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT} for example. Does the rule to to always use brackets apply to both, or only to the spec macros? -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
