Hiyas,
at this time the Packaging-Guidelines do not mention whether or
not %{optflags} should / must be used. They are used everytime %configure is
executed, but there are also packages that do not have a ./configure script
and for this reason would not use the %{optflags}. The flags in %{optflags}
contain not only optimization but also security flags. For this reason I
suggest that the Guidelines state that they have to be used. This will also
help new contributors to know about this.
I believe this has been ratified and is waiting for Ville to write up
and enter into the guidelines:
