Having macros in the -runtime package? Please don't.
- You always have %_scl_prefix (or whatever will that be named) in your -build.
- If you need prefix of the collection that you depend on by
%global %_collection_i_depend_on_scl_prefix `cat /etc/scl/prefixes/collection_i_depend_on`
You can define that in your -build subpackage if you need to use that often.

I guess this makes sense and it would be possible to implement this into scl-utils, so that build of metapackage would produce a file containing these macros. The only question is where to place them - the -build is no-go, since that can't be installed when building depending collections.

I don't think so. We should rather get LANANA name for Fedora and use that.
