Here's another possibly related question I found while grepping through core package specs:
Do we care about use of %{_initrddir} versus %{_sysconfdir}/rc.d/init.d/? Is one preferred over the other?
imo, the former, since that is precisely what it exists for.
While at it could we have the typo in the macro fixed? We can keep the old one indefinitely around for compatibility's sake.
Yeah, *please* don't go deciding to use a macro which has a broken and confusing name. I'd suggest either : - Using /etc/rc.d/init.d/foo "hardcoded" in %files (as Bill writes, the path is pretty much written in stone). - Using a new "fixed" macro for people who want that (useless?) warm fuzzy feeling lines beginning with "%" give them.
