ELN Extras SRPM macros? #187

Open hroncok opened 1 month ago

hroncok commented 1 month ago

Hello,

after looking at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/c/f7d9eeb359404d01e388c21b1697ad24aeddcea9?branch=rawhide I am wondering about one thing:

What if we need ghc-srpm-macros installed in the ELN Extras buildroot, but at the same time, it is unwanted in ELN?

If ELN Extras was EPEL, we would add the dependency to epel-rpm-macros. However, it is not.

Is there a package that is installed by default in ELN Extras only? Should we create it? Or is this use case to niche?

At this time, ghc is not currently in use in ELN Extras, but it certainly could be, as it is in EPEL. Can and should we have an eln branch of epel-rpm-macros and add it to the eln default buildroot?

have an eln branch of epel-rpm-macros

That depends on whether the meaning of ELN Extras is indeed future EPEL. If so, I would say we should have that branch.

add it to the eln default buildroot

That's trickier. It should not be in the eln buildroot, only in the eln extras buildroot. But if the 2 buidlroots are not separated, that cannot be done.
