Hello everybody, I would like to ask about possibility to spent some time to sync macros between our nice distributions.
I've seen email from Florian asking about the similar thing in the archives, so to bit expand on what I have on my mind. As in past i would like to first review the macros we have in both and try to sync them to some common degree. There are areas that are quite fine, like python, but also areas diverging horribly, like systemd macros. Atm most of the macros are stored together with the packages they are used for (kde macros in kde, systemd in systemd, python in python, etc etc). I would suggest we create some common repository to contain these and slowly merge them in. After all the packages can then download files from this repository quite fine and we can still keep the modularity of not having to put all the macros to rpm or to have some package like rpm-macros-blob containing everything. Because as we did this already once in past it worked for a bit but then we started to diverge a lot again. With common repository we could accomodate for most needs and actually make it work. Ie. we at SUSE have multiple ruby implementations so we have overbroad macros for that, but there is no reason why those macros could not understand RH system and use simplified values for that and vice-versa in other scenarios. What would you think about this? Cheers Tom
