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

</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; those provided by any 3rd party packagers.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; Not having the macro will cause us to lose that compatibility for very
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; little benefit, IMO. It could maybe be removed after several releases,
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; but not before.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I believe you're right at the moment, now that we're importing things,
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; but after the very first time, starts becoming nonsense since
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; i believe we're going to work on our packages distro per distro not taking
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; every time srpms from mandriva as we're doing now.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Well, it may be a na&#239;ve hope, but I thought I could maintain the same spec file 
</I>&gt;<i> for Mandriva and Mageia for my packages. It's not just a matter of importing 
</I>&gt;<i> SRPMS from Mandriva to Mageia.
</I>
Given the fact that rpm5 is drifting away from the usage of %mkrel for using %distepoch, 
I truly doubt this will happen.
