--- Comment #3 from Jason Tibbitts tibbs@math.uh.edu --- It's not a huge deal except when it doesn't work (which really only happens when you do fancy things with RPM macros as I'm doing). In the specific case of EL6, we can't fix it anyway because it's a Red Hat package, but I can just override the one macro I need to change.
I haven't made it to EL5 but I believe the same change will be needed there as well. I can of course just do the same override, but since I've the ability to actually fix it properly I'd prefer to do that if you wouldn't mind me doing so.
And changing it to fix this issue actually doesn't imply a rebuild of anything except the fontpackages package, since the actual font packages are unchanged after this change it made. I don't think anything has a direct version dependency on any of the fontpackages subpackages.
