%defattr macro removal?

[Shawn Iwinski]

I've seen several "Remove calls to %defattr macro, as they're no
longer needed" commits to drupal7* packages.  Is "%defattr" no longer
required for EPEL 5?

That's my understanding, yes.  I've been slowly going through the list, but
haven't finished yet.  I'll find a link to the discussion in the -devel
list.

Here's the thread on the fedora-devel list for more information:

I totally missed that.  THANKS Jared!

I have a spreadsheet I made to track spec cleanups and EPEL 7 deploys.
Perhaps I could add a "%defattr removed" column and either share it or make
it a Fedora wiki page?

Thanks for providing the reference Jared.  I was confident EPEL 5
should be OK with this change, so I merged in earlier fixes when
building the new 7.42 updates.
