It seems that the variables might be evaluated in wrong order, causing
the `%{release_string}` to not be expanded properly, probably depending
on RPM version. It seems that `%define`s are lazy evaluated, which fixes
the situation.
Shortly after introduction of this macro, the F20 was adjusted to ignore
.so files provided by gems. The rhbz#1020810 was requesting to adjust the
macro, but it will be better to drop it entirely, because no other usage
for this macro was discovered in past 5 years.
This is needed to compile zlib support. I think it is by accident available in the original buildroot, but not in mine.
I think it is better to explicitly name it.
During update, RPM cannot simply replace directory by link to direcotry,
therefore create the directory structure and link the files there one by
one (rhbz#1691039).
This avoids issues running `$ bin/rails console --sandbox`, which
otherwise breaks with error such as:
