[Starlingx-discuss] Using %{_bindir} for executables in specfiles

Folks,
I noticed something today when I was reviewing one of the refactor
patches and it got me thinking (which is never a good thing when
jet-lagged).
Why don't we use the RPM macro %{_bindir} which is /usr/bin by default?
I did a quick grep in the spec files and patches for spec files and
found that we current use systemctl, /bin/systemctl and
/usr/bin/systemctl. Not all OSes have a /bin/systemctl, so this might
fail later.
I am going to recommend that we have a standard of using the RPM macros
when calling executables inside of RPM Spec files so that we have some
consistency.
I am not saying we should to a mass find/replace right now, but as we
touch/update move to a consistent format, this will help later with
multi-os.
If needed we can get a specification written around this concept.
Thoughts, flames?
Sau!
