[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] cannot use lua libraries in rpm4.14 and later (Issue #2309)

[Michal Suchánek]

There's the thing that complex macros don't belong to rpm spec files nor macro files either because the syntax of these files is undefined.

It's not possible to tell what the files mean, not possible to parse them, not possible to test them.

Then if the macros cannot be in the spec files nor macro files and they need access to some rpm macros that are defined in the rpm environment the only available option are lua files.

Using existing lua libraries that are already tested outside of the rpm environment reduces the amount of code that is exclusive to rpm.
