upgrade from rpm 4.4 to 4.8

[Łukasz Tasz <lukasz@xxxxxxx>]

Welcome all list users!

In our project we are using rpmbuild to package our software and provide it as rpm.

We are planing to upgrade from rpm 4.4 to 4.8.
To build our rpm, I'm creating custom rpmmacros which is sourced in custom rpmrc which is passed with --rcfile option.

rpmrc is like:
include: globalrcfile
macrofiles: globalmacros:myCustomMacroFile 

I
 foundout this mechanism does not work for rpm 4.8, looks like 
macrofiles is ignored at all. I tried to use --macros but lot of the 
global macros, variables, was not prepared correctly.
My requirement is to set, overwrite some global macros, but I require mechanism which works under 4.4 and 4.8.

I
 tried to use --define which works fine in case of simple variables, but
 when I owervrite e.g %debug_package command line call is not 
acceptable, anyway it leads to some escaping issue.

thanks a lot for suggestions

best regards
Lukasz
