As you can quickly see, the issue or removing %clean caused
quite some discussion 4 years ago. My original implementaion was
even older.
What's been implemented was what was requested by many who
have years of experience using RPM.
Having gone through not only the implementation,
but also the adjustments, I _REALL_Y like not to
go back and repeat Yet Another discussion.
Nor am I interested in being trolled with
@rpm5.org is incompatible.
SO I most definitely wish to see
#ifdef RPM_VENDOR_MANDRIVA
rather than having to wait *another* 4 years for "forward" progress.
If you wish to move faster, -DRPM_VENDOR_MANDRIVA=1 and do whatever you choose.
I'm tired of being a proxy Fascist and being blamed for
Incompatibilities!
WHat is implemented == what was requested.
MY private opinion is that %clean is useless fluff, just like BuildRoot is.
Sadly, "legacy compatibility" at the syntax level largely means parsing
and ignoring ancient car wrecks from last century. Which (afaik) is _ALREADY_
in place, but I can/will test the next chance I get to actually use rpmbuild.
