#325 Add x86_64 macro to epel-rpm-macros
Closed: Fixed by kevin. Opened by naccyde.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

epel-rpm-macros doesn't define x86_64 macro, causing FTBFS for packages relying on it.

On Fedora 41, this macro resolves to:

> rpm --eval '%{x86_64}'
x86_64 x86_64_v2 x86_64_v3 x86_64_v4 amd64 em64t

Could this macro be added to epel-rpm-macros?

We could easily define one that is just x86_64 amd64 em64t for EPEL releases that lack the macro.

Yeah, that seems reasonable to me too...

I'll try and do it next week if there's no objections.

EPEL releases that lack the macro.

Indeed, it looks like this isn't needed for EPEL 10, just 9 and 8.
