Feedback

Benefit to Fedora

This change will not be visible to Fedora end-users, but it will provide some benefits to Fedora packagers:

  • Moving some of the brp scripts out of redhat-rpm-config and into c-cxx-rpm-macros means that they won't be run for packages that don't depend on clang or gcc. This will help speed up some builds.
  • This will help reduce the review burden of redhat-rpm-config maintainers who aren't interested in C/C++ changes.
