RPM requires a new post install hook, able to create WPS objects. Using a rexx script to parse a response file or accept a setup string should work.

It tuns out that many packages now depend on the /@unixroot/bin/sh file (i.e. have it among their requirements). This is a virtual dependency since this file doesn't even exist. Instead, it is virtually provided by the ash package.

Since it's a non-existent file, this dependency in the given form looks very strange. Perhaps it is a deviation of the common /bin/sh dependency found in many linux packages but this still doesn't make it sane. If we want a virtual dependency, it's better to stick with sh instead as it doesn't create any path confusion.

Now, if the %install section of a .spec changes to some dir which is not the top package's build directory (i.e. the directory where %setup unpacks source files to), the %debug_packages macro which generates debuginfo sub-packages, fails like this:

error: Could not open %files file D:/Users/dmik/rpmbuild/BUILD/which-0.0/debugfiles.list: No such file or directory

The attached patches fix this.
