--- Comment #6 from Pavel Raiskup praiskup@redhat.com --- (In reply to Jason Tibbitts from comment #0)
This is a super simple package which currently doesn't actually contain any macros. It will be used as a repository for packaging-committee approved macros so that redhat-rpm-config doesn't have to be modified directly.
Jason, this is very not transparent. Please always post links for FPC decisions about such things! Not everybody (me personally) looks at FPC tickets.
My point is that neither from redhat-rpm-config nor from fedora-rpm-config git-log I see where you've been discussing this across fedora board and thus I don't really see _what are the real benefits_ of such package (even though this is probably perfectly valid).
Also, what scared me, you've made 'redhat-rpm-config' "Requires: fedora-rpm-macros", so this is basically in every fedora build root. And I see little benefit of having those macros separated, because there is the same "possibility" to break something. It just looks like we are going to have a troubles to get this into CentOS/RHEL/EPEL.
What I always disliked about 'redhat-rpm-config' is it's name. That should be named like 'os-rpm-config' --- but that would be about package rename process, not about yet another macro package ...
Please make this movement clear, thanks!
