It's spring, it's raining sleet where I live, and it's also the season for new rpm in rawhide. As per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RPM-4.17.
The changes to the macro subsystem internals have been quite large, and while it's supposed to be backwards compatible with changes this big it'd be foolish not to expect some amount of the unexpected. So please pay attention, and don't be shy about filing bugs.
One known issue is java-11-openjdk updates failing with a message like this:
error: lua script failed: /usr/libexec/copy_jdk_configs.lua:43:
attempt to index a nil value (global 'arg')
That is already reported against the java packages as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1892224, please don't file duplicates on that. It needs to be addressed in the java packaging.
Hmm, it's actually worse than that: this also occurs on installs, which prevents anything buildrequiring java-11-openjdk-headless from being built ATM, for example https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=66716132
The script that assumes global "arg" is actually in copy-jdk-configs package but now the callers (all the openjdk packages) would need to supply that to the script somehow.
