Trying to produce LSB-compliant rpms from srpms on a couple of architectures is problematic due to variances between distributions. The two specific cases that have given me trouble are the ix86 family, which to follow the LSB must use an i486 architecture (but distributions may variously default this to i386, i486 or i586); and the ppc64 architecture (which distributions may default to ppc64, powerpc64, or ppc64pseries). In this latter case, rpm (at least 4.2 and earlier) doesn't by default provide buildarchtranslate rules like it does for many other architectures; in the former it's just distro choice. This is easily worked around by adding the desired buildarchtranslate rules to a local .rpmmacros file. Problem is, when somebody downloads an sprm and rebuilds from it, I can't be sure our customized macros are in place... nor do I like the idea of forcing this on people as they'll forget they put the macros in place and then it affects the building of non-LSB packages, too. Is there a way to force this same translation just from information in the specfile?
