It also contains hotfixes for critical bugs in RHEL 9's go-rpm-macros +that were never addressed. The goal is for EPEL Go packaging to work as +similarly as possible to Fedora Go packaging. At the same time, this package +avoids overriding macros from RHEL more than it has to. + +This package contains the following backports: + +## go-rpm-macros-epel +go-rpm-macros-epel contains backports of certain Go RPM macros from Fedora. + +- Redefine %goinstallflags to work around [rhbz#2098400](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2098400). + +## go-srpm-macros-epel + +go-srpm-macros-epel contains backports of certain Go SRPM macros from Fedora. + +- Change `%gometa` to pull in go-rpm-macros-epel. + This way, packages don't need to BuildRequire it manually. +- Backport `-L` flag to `%gometa` and `%gorpmname` to support the new naming + scheme for compat packages. + +## go-rpm-macros-golist-symlink +go-rpm-macros-golist-symlink provides a symlink from /usr/bin to +go-rpm-macros's bundled golist, which is installed in +/usr/libexec/go-rpm-macros. This allows the macros that expect to find golist +in $PATH to work properly. + +This package is split out and namespaced to allow the upstream golist to be +packaged as golist. + +This works around [rhbz#2100618](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2100618).
