An additional question regarding macros:
-should %{name} be used anywhere else than in BuildRoot and if setup
must use the "-n" switch in %prep? From reading other .spec files I have
the impression %{name} isn't used wherever possible.
This is largely a matter of clarity. Since %{name} is the name of the
package, it's hardly likely to change so the value of using the macro is
doubtful. I don't think you'd get too many objections if you used it
elsewhere though.
- how about using %{__make}, %{__install} or %{__rm}? Is there a general
guideline about those macros?
This is more a matter of personal preference. I prefer to use them
throughout; others prefer not to use them at all. I believe both
approaches are fine but be consistent throughout a spec file. Either use
the macros everywhere or don't use them at all.
