Bug 245639

Doing the work to get these into redhat-rpm-config.  Since redhat-rpm-config
will be providing the macro to run these, I think having them in
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/ is best for now.  This is orthogonal to getting these in
upstream RPM.  If they ever show up in upstream RPM, we can adjust
redhat-rpm-config to drop them and point to the new path for running them.  I
would suggest filing this RFE at rpm.org Trac.

The bad thing about /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/ instead of /usr/lib/rpm/ is that a lot
of people and setups have their ~/.rpmmacros and friends configured to invoke
the scripts from /usr/lib/rpm/ - that's where rpmdevtools installs and
rpmdev-setuptree configures them.

I don't think these settings are fixable from a package, therefore /usr/lib/rpm/
would be very much recommended for backwards compatibility and less grief.

http://people.redhat.com/jkeating/git/redhat-rpm-config.git has changes
necessary to add these files to redhat-rpm-config, and enable them by default.

(also I cleaned up the dist stuff in a second commit)

Jeremy, can you apply this?  This is part of the effort to remove the 'groups'
repo in mock.

Hrm. a bit of cross traffic there.  I suppose I can make the scripts go into
/usr/lib/rpm, will just mean special casing them in the Makefile, and I do so
hate editing Makefiles :(

Villa, care to provide a patch to Makefile that moves them somewhere different?

Move check-* to /usr/lib/rpm, add test suite

That's wool in Finnish :)

Here goes.  Also included is the check suite for check-rpaths from rpmdevtools.

My git repo now has those changes in it.  Thanks Ville (<-- look, I got it right!)

FWIW, I've zero objections to adding the check-* scripts to upstream rpm even
for 4.4.2.1, but enabling by default (or not) will need to go to
redhat-rpm-config at this point.

How soon would 4.4.2.1 show up?  I'd like to get these things done ASAP as they
are part of a larger change to mock.

I can stuff the scripts in, bundle up a 4.4.2.1-rc2 tarball and have it in next
rawhide build if you wish. Final 4.4.2.1 is due out very shortly anyway, these
rc's are simply about being very cautious.

That would be most awesome.  IF you do that, I'll adjust my redhat-rpm-config
changes to just enable it by default (and fix the %dist stuff too).  Next
rawhide build would be most awesome.

http://people.redhat.com/jkeating/git/redhat-rpm-config.git now just has changes
for enabling the post %install buildroot checking, and dist cleanups.

Added to rpm 4.4.2.1-rc2 and currently building that for rawhide. Assuming
nothing blows up, will be in next rawhide push.

Confirmed, in the new rpm.  I'll consider this closed.

Thanks.  One last bit:

Looks like Panu got around to fixing that bit in hg some time ago.  Thanks.
