[Mageia-dev] [RFC] remove support for /etc/rpm/macros.d/*.macros

[Thierry Vignaud]

Hi

For years, we patch our rpm in order to support for /etc/rpm/macros.d
(very old compat with rpm-4.4).
Upstream refused to merge it as "/etc/rpm/ is a "macros.d" style
directory already, except in name".

I would like to drop that patch from rpm (one less to maintain).
That means basically renaming files:
  /etc/rpm/macros.d/foobar.macros => /etc/rpm/macros/macros.foobar

So I suggest we:
- fix the packages that needs it
- drop the patch from rpm.

There's not that many packages to fix:
