I am learning rpm/rpmbuild and I see strange behavior difference in RPM v4.4.2.3 and RPM v4.14.
I created an rpmrc file which has below content
macrofiles:/home/rmehta/rpmtest/rpmmacros
and rpmmacros has below contents
%_name Rakesh
When I execute rpmbuild --rcfile /home/rmehta/rpmtest/rpmrc --eval %_name it gives different output for both RPM versions
For RPM version 4.4.2.3 (SLES-15) it prints Rakesh
For RPM version 4.14.3 (SLES-11) it prints %_name
My question is why this difference and why for RPM v4.14.3 its not reading the rcfile.
I tried same with RPM v4.11(openSUSE) and its behaviour is same as RPM v4.14.3.
