           Summary: --macros not mentioned in the rpmbuild man page
        Regression: ---
      Story Points: ---
    Classification: Fedora
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: teknopaul at gmail.com
              Type: Bug
     Documentation: ---
          Hardware: All
        Mount Type: ---
            Status: NEW
         Component: rpm-guide
           Product: Fedora Documentation

Description of problem:
The --macros flag is not documented in man rpmbuild.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RPM version 4.9.1.3 

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man rpmbuild
2.
3.

Actual results:
incomplete docs


Expected results:
--macros gets mentioned, without it is not possible to build outside ~/rpmbuild

Additional info:
I understand that this might not be the perfect place to report this issue but
www.rpm.org has a private bug trac system that the public are not allowed to
enter bugs in.  RPM is obviously pretty core to Fedora.  I'll be happy to
submit a doc patch if you can tell me where the code is.
BTW rpm and rpmbuild man pages have no BUGS section.
