There are some macros (well quite a few) that govern rpm's behavior (such as where it generates tempfiles...not your scriptlets, rpm) at install time. Those you can set via --define or via ~/.macros or /etc/rpm/macros. For macros in the scriptlets you wrote you can't change those, because, as mentioned above, they have already been expanded on your build server. There has been some talk about install time expansion of macros with the rpm developers, but as yet no one has made it happen (OTOH, lots of other things have). Cheers...james
