Comment 2 Jaroslav Škarvada 2022-06-30 16:25:21 UTC
Could you provide more info how to implement it? The docs you linked talk about some RPM macros, but it seems there is no relevant info how to migrate and which macro to use.

Comment 3 Pat Riehecky 2022-06-30 18:02:19 UTC
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/sane-backends/-/merge_requests/3

provides one example of how to migrate to this functionality.
