[Fedora-packaging] Packaging/Guidelines - Usage of %{optflags}

[Till Maas]

Hiyas,

at this time the Packaging-Guidelines do not mention whether or 
not %{optflags} should / must be used. They are used everytime %configure is 
executed, but there are also packages that do not have a ./configure script 
and for this reason would not use the %{optflags}. The flags in %{optflags} 
contain not only optimization but also security flags. For this reason I 
suggest that the Guidelines state that they have to be used. This will also 
help new contributors to know about this.

I already mentioned this in fedora-extras-list, but without much feedback, but 
this may be the better mailinglist:

Greetings,
Till
