Tricky only because noone has asked. I can certainly permit Version: %%{version} %define version whatever-you-want to delay the expansion, and add an additional macro expansion before adding RPMTAG_VERSION to *.rpm package headers, if that is desirable. A delayed expansion is most definiitely desirable for Release: fields because of the pesky %{?dist} that has been injected everywhere by Fedora, and will take years to phase out, sigh. 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
