Hi,
I have a Fedora FC5 running hapily on my laptop. Regularly I build my own
RPM packages, starting from *.src.rpm source packages and applying my
personal patches.
In the header of some SPEC files I find something like:
Release: 3%{?dist}
Which should - I guess - automatically be expanded to "3.fc5" while
building the rpm package. But on my system this is ignored and the built
package will only have "3" as release number. No big deal, but what's
missing on my system ? Maybe I should edit the rpm macro files somewhere ?
No it is not automatically expanded to show the distro version, you need to
supply the information by adding it to the spec file or when typing the
rpmbuild command;
Spec file addition: %define dist .fc5
rpmbuild -bb --define 'dist .fc5' foo.spec
What really makes this fun is when you use the define statement the binary
packagename(s) results can be different;
rpmbuild -bb --define 'dist .xyz' foo.spec
The resulting binary rpm package(s0 will have .xyz as part of the package
name. Consider that setting the define dist statement as a quick and easy
way to know if the packages are meant for the distro in question.
