[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Macro Language - tips, best reference ? (Discussion #2094)

> Where is the list of expressions that expr supports listed for v4.14.3 ?

v4.14.x doesn't *have* macro expressions. The issue is that macro-level expressions are a new thing only introduced in rpm 4.16. Prior to that, expressions were limited to %if conditionals in the spec language and to achieve something like that in the macro space, you'd have to write the is_enabled() macro with the [embedded Lua](https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/lua.html) interpreter. They are available all the way back to 4.4.x but recent versions have argument handling etc improvements that 4.14 doesn't have.
