</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I'm strongly in favor of having it for compatibility reasons, so that

</I>&gt;<i> &gt; those provided by any 3rd party packagers.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Not having the macro will cause us to lose that compatibility for very
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; little benefit, IMO. It could maybe be removed after several releases,
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; but not before.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I believe you're right at the moment, now that we're importing things,

</I>&gt;<i>

Well, it may be a na&#239;ve hope, but I thought I could maintain the same spec file 
for Mandriva and Mageia for my packages. It's not just a matter of importing 
SRPMS from Mandriva to Mageia.

&gt;<i> &gt; However, it seems blino disagreed with this, and he thinks we should not
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; have these macros at all.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> the good should be to have some common macros the allows us to build
</I>&gt;<i> packages form one distro to other. I ported in my rhel 4 and 5 mkrel to get
</I>&gt;<i> most compatibility to mandriva specs. But now fedora (hope rhel 6 as well)
</I>&gt;<i> uses %dist so why not to use a common point to that macro and extend
</I>&gt;<i> compatibility?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>
OK with that.
