I have not tested this, it is just a thought.

One of the irritants in building cross-platform pkgs is that sometimes variants in rpm defaults (across distros) breaks stuff at build time. This kind of thing comes up on this list now and then... unpackaged_files_terminate_build, whether or not to compress manpages, etc.
Fairly easily smoothed out with a local rpmmacros file, I can do a cvs export of my code, type make, and get something functionally equivalent whether I used RH, SuSE, Mandrake, or something else as the build machine.
Except... the srpm that resulted from turning that crank doesn't have that macro information embedded in it, and if someone now tries to rebuild from the srpm, the same problem is reintroduced that I thought was just fixed.
Is there an answer for this? The things noted don't seem to be able to go into the specfile, that's why they ended up in rpmmacros in the first palce.
