I'd say that will *probably* be the case and could be a safe option, but %configure could always have more actions added to it. Since if we run make, we're running an arbitrary Makefile... future-proofing might be good. %configure is also an omnipresent macro that anyone w/ even a basic understanding of specs will grok, while %set_build_flags is a bit more obscure. -jc _______________________________________________ packaging mailing list -- packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to packaging-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/packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
