Bug ID: 1074269 Summary: ghc-rpm-macros installs macros files to /etc/rpm Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: ghc-rpm-macros Assignee: petersen@redhat.com Reporter: ville.skytta@iki.fi QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: haskell-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen@redhat.com Blocks: 1074261
The proper location for rpm macros files in rpm >= 4.11 is %{_rpmconfigdir}/macros.d, please move them there from /etc/rpm.
If this package's specfile targets Fedora and EL >= 7 only, the location for macro files can be simply changed from /etc/rpm to %{_rpmconfigdir}/macros.d. If it is intended to work on EL 5 and/or 6 as well, you can define a macros dir for example as follows (all on one line) and install the macros to %{macrosdir}:
%global macrosdir %(d=%{_rpmconfigdir}/macros.d; [ -d $d ] || d=%{_sysconfdir}/rpm; echo $d)
Looks like this has already been fixed in git, but there are no successful package builds with the fix in Rawhide.
