Hello Andrew,
In general, leading whitespace is only allowed when making conditional
statement or using backslash like these following examples:
--- Example #1 ---
%if (0%{?fedora} && 0%{?fedora} < 19) || (0%{?rhel} && 0%{?rhel} < 7)
--vendor="fedora" \
%endif
--dir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_datadir}/applications \
%{name}.desktop
--- Example #2 ---
for f in scribus/plugins/scriptplugin/{samples,scripts}/*.py
do
sed '1{/#!\/usr\/bin\/env\|#!\/usr\/bin\/python/d}' $f > $f.new
touch -r $f $f.new
mv $f.new $f
done
----------
Hope it helps.
