I'd also like to see this file added to the fedora fdupes package. Thanks! I would support a %fdupes macro, it's quite handy for a lot of situations: * icon themes; * games; * etc... Furthermore, I believe it does improve the overall package quality and the usage of macros for 'common' tasks does make packaging more friendly. Considering that a lot of people would like to see more packagers, lowering the complexity of scriptlets would probably. Reading specs with macros also makes it more easy...

Could you please be so kind to add some %fdupes macro to the fdupes package that allows me to replace duplicate files during packaging with links? Point being it does no harm and surely wont matter that much for e.g. html doc files but it does matter for e.g. big (>100mb) game data files and it is easy to use - e.g. "%fdupes %{buildroot}%{_datadir"}. The basic idea is to remove automatically any duplicates when encountered and provide smaller packages that make it easier for mirrors (hosting) and users (downloading). On suse it is defined like this: $ cat /etc/rpm/macros.fdupes %fdupes(s) \ _target=""; \ _symlinks=0; \ %{-s:_symlinks=1;} \ fdupes -q -n -r %1 | \ while read _file; do \ if test -z "$_target" ; then \ _target="$_file"; \ else \ if test -z "$_file" ; then \ _target=""; \ continue ; \ fi ; \ if test "$_symlinks" = 1; then \ ln -sf "${_target#%{buildroot}}" "$_file"; \ else \ ln -f "$_target" "$_file"; \ fi ;\ fi ; \ done \ %{nil} Thanks a lot.
