%missingok is undocumented

[dralley]

%config(missingok) is documented, however, %missingok is not. Presumably there is at minimum a lot of overlap, but it is unclear if there are any distinctions in when and how they should be used.

vattrtest.spec only tests %missingok, can I presume that they are equivalent in function? Is one or the other considered better syntax?

Or does %config(missingok) also set the flag marking a file as configuration, while %missingok does not? If so, when is that useful?

There's just one flag for it all (RPMFILE_MISSINGOK) so %config(missingok) equals %config %missingok. The standalone %missingok was only added in 2016 (8efe51e) so relatively late.
