If that really worth it, I would create a package dropping several
macros into /etc/rpm.
Then I could reuse them in the two different spec files.
But I don't think moving macros that are only common between two spec
files will enhance readability,
because you will need to search the meaning into another spec file.
And that will be difficult to maintain if you need adjustment for a
given version.
At least that concept is already used by various packages, including
kmodtool, to extend the rpm macros set of functions.
Nicolas,
Thanks for speaking up! Now that you're here, I'd like your input on
my current plan:
Well, I think zfs currently relies on DKMS but if I'm going to all
this trouble I guess I could move it to akmods. I was going to use
akmod-nvidia as a template unless you know of a better one.
Thanks,
Richard
