the first simple question which will probably lead to a followup -- what's the recommended way to override the macros files list to both rpm and, more importantly in my case, rpmbuild? to see the current settings, i've run: $ rpmbuild --showrc which lists, as part of its output: RPMRC VALUES: macrofiles : /usr/lib/rpm/macros:/usr/lib/rpm/i386-linux/macros:/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/m acros:/etc/rpm/macros.specspo:/etc/rpm/macros.cdb:/etc/rpm/macros.prelink:/etc/rpm/macros.solve: /etc/rpm/macros.up2date:/etc/rpm/macros:/etc/rpm/i386-linux/macros:~/.rpmmacros now, according to the output of "rpmbuild --help", i should be able to override that list of macros files with the option "--macros=<file list>", no? so, i try: $ rpmbuild --macros=bogusfile --showrc and yet, the output doesn't change. shouldn't i see new macro files output in the output? isn't that the whole point of "--showrc"? to show me the effective settings when i run the command? rday _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
