Description Todd Warner 2018-12-10 21:02:54 UTC
Description of problem:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/#_scriptlets

In this section you use the results of `rpm --eval %systemd_requires` and claim it to be something that begins with `BuildRequires: systemd-rpm-macros`

I am an intermediate package builder and this section is confusing to me.

This is what I get on Fedora 28...
```
$ rpm --eval %{systemd_requires}

Requires(post): systemd 
Requires(preun): systemd 
Requires(postun): systemd 
```

This section needs to be (a) updated, and (b) written a bit clearer. I think. Anyway... it left me chasing my tail when I included that BuildRequires in my specfile.

systemd-rpm-macros only exists in F30+. Therefor any spec files following this guidance will only build on F30+.
On F29 and lower the systemd package provides the systemd RPM macros.

I'm closing this bug as part of a Bugzilla cleanup effort. The most likely reason is that the bug has been opened either against a component we no longer publish, or against Release Notes for an EOL release.
