On my Enterprise Linux installation, the default "macrofiles" setup is
/usr/lib/rpm/macros:/usr/lib/rpm/%{_target}/macros:/etc/rpm/macros.specspo:/etc/rpm/macros.prelink:/etc/rpm/macros.solve:/etc/rpm/macros.up2date:/etc/rpm/macros:/etc/rpm/%{_target}/macros:~/.rpmmacros
I thought this meant that if I did
rpmbuild --target <something>
then /usr/lib/rpm/<something>/macros and /etc/rpm/<something>/macros
would be loaded (among other things), but based on experiments I just
did, it looks like this is not the case. In fact, it seems like rpmbuild
will still look for /usr/lib/rpm/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/macros and
/etc/rpm/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/macros, i.e. that "--target" has no
effect on the macro file search. Is that right? Is it the way it's
supposed to be?
rpm version is 4.2.3-24_nonptl.
