This has been implemented in the macro engine itself as of commit 49f99b86566bf71e1ebd8be4da29953aaf042b79. However the spec parser still uses the older expandMacros() API which is limited by caller-specified preallocated buffer. As rpmExpand() doesn't return error codes, a new API is needed to take advantage of the dynamic buffer expansion in the spec parser.

• status changed from assigned to closed.
• resolution set to fixed.

Considering this done, the spec parser part is tracked separately in ticket #814 “Eliminate static buffer from spec parsing (new)”.
