Remove obsolete features from RPM .specs
Remove features no longer implemented in rpm. Creating this issue as a reminder, since 2.0 is a good time to make the RPM specs current (remove deprecations before they become errors).
Specifically, the following tags are deprecated: Group: BuildRoot: PreReq:
%clean If the %clean section only contains "rm -rf %buildroot", then it's redundant and should be removed. Cleanup is automatic now.
Having no Buildroot: in the spec file is even verified by Travis for each pull request, so that is already solved.
git grep also claims no %clean anywhere.
PreReq exists 5 times and having Group is actually enforced by Travis and is part of each spec file.
Thanks for checking. Sounds like a quick update needed for Travis to remove enforcement. I don't think we need to enforce tag removal yet. I can include this when I submit the updated WW packages this week.
We should add a Prereq check to Travis. Prereq is now interpreted as Requires(Pre), and that may not be the specfile authors intent since Requires(Pre) can be removed after RPM installation.
We most definitely rely on a specific Group tag taxonomy for machine-generating the package manifests that are included in the documentation. Looks like RHEL8 and Leap15 also continue to use; would prefer to not rock the boat on that (and we really do use them, which was part of the motivation to add to the Travis check)
