While at it could we have the typo in the macro fixed? We can keep the
old one indefinitely around for compatibility's sake.
Yeah, *please* don't go deciding to use a macro which has a broken and
confusing name. I'd suggest either :
- Using /etc/rc.d/init.d/foo "hardcoded" in %files (as Bill writes, the
path is pretty much written in stone).
- Using a new "fixed" macro for people who want that (useless?) warm
fuzzy feeling lines beginning with "%" give them.
