RPM 4.20 Released (rpm.org)
The new BuildSystem directive is now available for declaring which build system is used by the packaged software. With this directive, the sources will be automatically prepared, compiled and installed according to the given build system’s best practices, instead of requiring the packagers to provide the %prep, %build or %install scriptlets themselves. This reduces boilerplate while still allowing packagers to tweak these steps if necessary, such as to conform to the distribution’s guidelines or preferences.
