Just the cheat-sheet I was looking for. Thanks!
Useful rpmbuild macros
Utilizing macros can make life easier when you’re dealing with building on, and for, multiple platforms. Why bother with hard-coding full paths to system utilities when you can simply refer to them by their macro name?
These can also be useful for avoiding things like rpm check-files errors, installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found, and debuginfo related stuff.
If you find these macros are not available in your version of rpmbuild, you can explicitly define them yourself. Most systems will have (most of) these preconfigured for you in /usr/lib/rpm or a similar path.
