#34 Rename rust-packaging to cargo-rpm-macros
Closed by ngompa. Opened by umeaman.

Closed
Reopen Issue

I use Mageia 9 and for some reason we've renamed rust-packaging into cargo-rpm-macros, but I'd like to know why Fedora hasn't made that move. I get that all distros name their packages differently, but it's a tad confusing to me. Please reconsider renaming it in the future.

cargo-rpm-macros is a binary package produced by rust-packaging.

Metadata Update from @ngompa:
- Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)

To elaborate: packages that provide RPM macros almost always follow the naming pattern $foo-rpm-macros or $foo-srpm-macros. It was confusing that the RPM macros were shipped by rust-packaging, and it also made the split between RHEL and EPEL very annoying to handle.

Hence, the binary packages were renamed to cargo-rpm-macros and rust-srpm-macros. The latter is now provided by RHEL too, whereas the EPEL package just builds cargo-rpm-macros.

So we indeed have already made this move in Fedora (years ago!) and Mageia has only recently caught up :)
