</I>&gt;<i> Personally, i agree regarding the %files part to be under their respective

</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> regarding defines, i don't understand completely, but i am in favor of having

</I>Well, I think mikala&#8217;s got a point there. Experience showed that having
defines put where they are relevant simply improved readability.
OTOH, the spec does not say anything apart &#8220;it should be on top&#8221;.
I think we should not enforce define on top if we have no valid reason
to have it like this.

Also, a way to improve readability regarding subpackages is to
systematically add a line of comment between them like this :

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I&#8217;ll add a section about subpackages, because they&#8217;re not mentionned in
the current policy.
