If you supply a patch, I don't see why we couldn't add it. I'll ask Dennis as well. Created attachment 551750 [details]
epel-release.spec-macros.ghc-srpm.patch
A patch to epel-release.spec adding "/etc/rpm/macros.ghc-srpm".
Created attachment 551751 [details]
macros.ghc-srpm
The rpm macros from Fedora's latest redhat-rpm-config.
doesnt matter if we add it or not. it will not be available to be used, we do not install epel-release in the el6 minimal buildroot or srpm creation buildroot. we could change that but it does mean a change. it belongs in redhat-rpm-config not as a hack in epel-release. please try to go the path of redhat-rpm-config first. Doh - good point! Hmm that means I have to request it be added to RHEL, which I imagine may well take a long time, oh dear hmmm... Let me try anyway. I am happy to provide a patch to redhat-rpm-config for this. curious whats going on here. It got moved to epel-release and then back to redhat-rpm-config. the last Entry i can see is from Jens on 2012-01-11 no idea if there has been further discussion beyond that. Panu doesn't seem to think that redhat-rpm-config is the right place for housing the macro for EPEL6 and suggested having an epel-rpm-config package say instead. Perhaps using epel-release would also be ok for now? I just want to be able to update ghc* for epel6... :) I guess Dennis isn't seeing the (unnecessarily) private comments in between. In any case, I too fail to see why this was reassigned to redhat-rpm-config as EPEL is free to change their packages / add new ones as they please, but I cannot do that. Back to comment 4 then. Personally I feel that epel-release is kind of a sensitive package so in the long term it would be better to use say an epel-rpm-config package to house the macros for current EPEL releases, also given that epel-release is not currently needed in mock. Anyway, Dennis suggested we go ahead with patching epel-release and pulling that into the default koji buildroot so I will update the patch to the latest macros. Created attachment 567022 [details]
macros.ghc-srpm
Updated macros.ghc-srpm to just list i686 and x86_64 arches,
since currently epel6 only has ghc built for them.
epel-release.spec-macros.ghc-srpm.patch should still be good.
