Just tried it:

| $ rpm --define 'foo bar' --eval '%foo' --define 'foo baz' --eval '%foo' --undefine 'foo' --eval '%foo'
| bar
| baz
| bar

Very nice, very nice. I cannot just wait until I see Jeff's commit
to support this:

| $ rpm --define 'foo foo' --define 'foo bar' --define 'foo quux' -- eval "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\n}"
| foo
| bar
| quux

Thanks for the syntax hint ;-)


Very interesting what rather cool functionalities are under the hat
of RPM and which nobody beside Jeff seems to know about at all. I
guess there are even more those cool things which we just have to
discovered... ;-)

Hehe. With arbitrary tags, I hope for "Specfile Sonnets" ala black perl poetry.
