+I've found using Lua macros in rpm spec files to be pretty useful.  I haven't found many examples of their use online, so here's how I ended up using them.
+
+I had a situation where I needed to make a subpackage from all the files in a number of different subdirectories.  The structure of the files in the subdirectories was fixed, 
+but the number of subdirectories could change over time, and I didn't want to have to update the spec file each time a new subdirectory was added or removed.
