- rpm's dep extractors have gotten numerous improvements over the years,
while the ones here haven't seen any updates since 2002
- point the find-* scripts to rpm's scripts, remove the redundant and
outdated perl.* scripts
- autotools dependency tracking isn't generally useful in rpm builds;
disabling it results in cleaner build logs and possibly slight build speedups
- patch from Ville Skyttä
- --target is only ever useful for handful of compiler toolchain packages
and cross-compiler packages are better off setting it themselves if
necessary, rpm messing here only gets in the way
- patch originally from Stepan Kasal
- syncs up with rpm upstream setup
- FFLAGS has a Fedora-specific override forcing us to carry this %configure
copy, need to fix rpm to permit more fine-grained overrides...
- as per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XZRpmPayloads
- lowish compression preset level to keep deltarpm rebuild time tolerable
- source rpms dont really benefit from XZ compression as the contents are
typically tarballs which are already compressed
- patch from Bill Nottingham
- remove any existing buildroot contents and safely create a new one
- patch originally from OpenSUSE / Michael Schroeder, adopted to Fedora
by Tom "spot" Callaway
- as per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ArchitectureSupport
- set 32 bit intel build arch to i586 on compatible hardware
- set 32 bit sparc build arch to sparcv9 on compatible hardware
- add missing armv7l arch
- set the default build arch to match fedora arm build target
