<PRE>Hi

For years, we patch our rpm in order to support for /etc/rpm/macros.d
(very old compat with rpm-4.4).
Upstream refused to merge it as &quot;/etc/rpm/ is a &quot;macros.d&quot; style
directory already, except in name&quot;.

I would like to drop that patch from rpm (one less to maintain).
That means basically renaming files:
  /etc/rpm/macros.d/foobar.macros =&gt; /etc/rpm/macros/macros.foobar

So I suggest we:
- fix the packages that needs it
- drop the patch from rpm.

There's not that many packages to fix:
