This is historical.
Within the spec file there is
#-----------------------------------------------------------
#to define the revision number
%define revision %(R="$Revision: 2.1.0.401 $"; RR="${R##: }"; echo ${RR%
% ?})
%define rversion %(echo %{revision} | cut -d'.' -f1-2)
%define subversion %(echo %{revision}| cut -d'.' -f4)
#-----------------------------------------------------------
In our development (upstream) a Makefile with
a "make version" is calling RCS to tag and freeze
all file with an increased version mark (project
started well before GIT time :-}})
My whole questioning about version started when I
found "My" spec file within Fedora to be now 1.30!!
(if the version is 1.30... how come good tar file be used
and rpm 2.1.320 could have been be generated within rawhide??).
As we are GIT now, I do not think putting
"$Revision: 2.1.0.401 $" strings within spec is a good thing
anymore.
