</I>&gt;<i> Hi Jani,
</I>&gt;<i> I'm not able to find references on our wiki that say macros (like
</I>&gt;<i> %__install or %__rm) are deprecated, can You point me in the right

</I>&gt;<i>

</I>
I'm not sure what our wiki says about this, but in majority of .specs
I've seen in these couple of years I've been a packager, macros aren't
used for install, mkdir or cp.

This was also discussed a few months ago [1], but no decisions was made.

There was link to Fedora wiki [2] about macros in the previous
discussion. In short, Fedora wiki basically says that macros shouldn't
be used for system executables. Maybe this should be also stated in
our wiki?!
