> Is it possible for rpmdevtools to support replacing of the macro syntax too?
I suppose it's _possible_, but I'm not at all sure about the feasibility. The
shell style ones can obviously be used only in specfile constructs that are
shell code, and replacing macro style ones with them in other sections would
cause breakage, and implementing a real specfile parser is not something I even
want to think about. For spec templates that are shipped in rpmdevtools I can
ensure that no breakage occurs but I can't do that for templates in other
packages, such as these new font templates.

Doh :P. Well, even if it's not a "solution", I suppose educating them to take
advantage of the rpmdevtools features wouldn't hurt.

It's not "absolutely necessary", but unless changed, it will be a small
regression. rpmdevtools 7.0 does not do macros->shell replacement, but it
should take care of the -simple/-multi selection, always producing a
foo-fonts.spec result, and <FONTNAME> replacement.
