+<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Olav Vitters at 24/07/12 15:11 did gyre and gimble:
+&gt;<i> $ rpm -E '%{_unitdir}'
+</I>&gt;<i> /lib/systemd/system
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> This should show:
+</I>&gt;<i> /usr/lib/systemd/system
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I see that it is defined in two places:
+</I>&gt;<i> 1. /etc/rpm/macros.d/20build.macros: %_unitdir /lib/systemd/system
+</I>&gt;<i> 2. /usr/lib/rpm/macros.systemd: %_unitdir /usr/lib/systemd/system
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The latter obviously provides the right setting. But I guess due to
+</I>&gt;<i> ordering and so on it picks up the setting from 20build.macros.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> This is preventing me to package NetworkManager properly (I prefer
+</I>&gt;<i> relying on %{_unitdir} to give me the location, so the spec still works
+</I>&gt;<i> on Mageia 2).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Could someone fix this?
+</I>
+Yeah this was on my to-fix list.
+
+As far as I'm aware the file in /usr/lib/rpm/macros.systemd will not be
+looked at at all anyway as it's not in any kind of magical .d folder.
+
+I would like to see the following changes:
+
+1) We define a /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/ folder.
+2) Any packages shipping file in the /etc/ folder should change and use
+/usr/lib instead (/etc should be for admin overrides, NOT for general
+packaging).
+3) We include the systemd macos in the /usr/lib/rpm/macos.d/ folder.
+4) Any files shipping systemd units require systemd-devel to ensure they
+have the macro.
+
+
+While steps 1-3 are probably OK (just need work) I'm not sure if
+requiring systemd-devel is overkill when all they need is a small part
+of it. I could potentially create a systemd-unit-devel package which
+only contained the neccesary stuff which would be lighter on the
+requirements front but I'm also against too much fragmentation here, so
+I'd be tempted to just say &quot;require systemd-devel&quot; and sod the
+not-strictly-necessary stuff it might end up pulling in.
+
+Thoughts?
