<p>Currently, RPM looks for macro definitions in only one directory, which is hard-coded and cannot be changed.</p>
<p>This pose significant complication for packaging of RPM Software Collections which need to provide their own version of macro files – basically, the SCL installs all its files into <code>/opt/<vendor>/<collection></code> prefix <strong>except</strong> the macro files, which it has to install system-wide. The process also usually requires heavy modification of said macro files in order for them to not conflict with the "native package" macro files. (As a side note, this modification could benefit from <a href="https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/246">some kind of name spacing</a>.)</p>
<p>Would it be possible to consider adding a configurable/extandable macro search paths?</p>
