This package brings a very low benefit and create very bad issues.
Broken SCL build: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1301358
Even if SCL are not allowed in Fedora, this is a huge blocker for some of us (working on RHSCL or CentOS-SCL)
More, the spec file in EPEL can now be incompatible with RHEL / CentOS build system (where these macros don't exists).
If really you want such things, please open a RH bug to have them include upstream.
Having such workaround only in EPEL seems a terrible bad idea.
I can confirm that EPEL spec files have become practically unusable in CentOS Community Build System as-is. Though there's also the point that EPEL7 follows now different packaging guidelines than CentOS/RHEL 7 which needs to be raised to EPSCo.
yes, we want to fix this... hopefully tibbs will be able to look at it today. If it looks like there's no easy fix, then sure we can drop it from the buildroot until we do fix it. But, since it's already been announced and used we should try and just fix things.
This is not a infrastructure issue, this ticket is in the wrong place. please file a ticket with release engineering
