[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Discussion: spec tag order and side-effects (#1161)

[Michael Schroeder]

My 2 cents: I don't see what macro expansion has to do with the free order of spec tags. It's should not surprise anybody that using %name does not work before the "Name:" tag is given.

And how is the following different?
```
Patch0:         %{foo}

%define foo bar.diff
```
This has nothing to do with the order of the tags.

I'd *hate* if rpm would insist on some specific order, though.
