I have one comment, or more of a question: Why is it that some time ago
there used to be this syntax as de-facto standard:
%define name
Name: %name
Never understood this, so i went with what seems the new standard,
which saves you at least 3 lines per spec and improving readability.
So anyone can enlighten me why name, release and version had %defines?
Legacy practice which got stuck with some...
'Name: foo' will always define %{name} now (which has been the case for ages),
so there's no longer use in doing this anymore.
It mainly adds unnecessary obscurity and confusion, please just drop this.
