Recently the question of why we require people to macroize their
paths in
spec files (and by extension, patch build scripts to use the expansion of
our macros instead of hardcoded values) came up. FPC only knew of one, not
so great reason: if the paths were to change, for instance a change in the
FHS, then spec files that use macros (in both the spec file and the
expansion of those macros is used in the upstream build scripts) would only
need a rebuild to pick up th new paths.
Macroizing directory paths is very useful for SIGs to enforce consistency in
Fedora packages when a specific domain has no strong established file location
conventions and different upstream make radically different choices.
