Hi

I wanted to know if, with the withdraw from RPM 5 of rpmrc, the support to
/usr/lib/rpm/<vendor>/macros is withdrawn also.

In such case, the new place for put the "vendor" macro file  would have to
be /etc/rpm/macros.<vendor>: it is right?

This is important to know, as in Fedora system the corrected path for  "gnu
autotools" macro (e.g. _sysconfdir ) have been contained historically in
the  /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros, installated by redhat-rpm-macros rpm, via
the "magic" of rpmrc and rpm itself, i think.


Thanks in advance
