Simple stuff, the only blocker being ownership of the /etc/rpm directory, which should probably just be co-owned by this package. Either that, or Requires rpm (but that seems a bit silly):

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#The_directory_is_owned_by_a_package_which_is_not_required_for_your_package_to_function

You could also add a -p to the install command to preserve the timestamp of the source file, but that's not required.

* Tue Jun 13 2017 Owen Taylor <otaylor> - 27-2
- Wrap description lines
- Own /etc/rpm, to avoid requiring rpm package
- Preserve timestamp on installation

I chose not to include the license text since it's not really mandatory and:

$ rpm -qa | grep rpm-macros | wc -l
12
[otaylor@localhost flatpak-rpm-macros]$ ls /usr/share/doc/*rpm-macros*
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/doc/*rpm-macros*': No such file or directory

Comment 5 Mattia Verga 2020-05-31 09:24:33 UTC
This package was approved and imported in repositories, but this review ticket was never closed.
I'm closing it now.
