Thanks very much! So here is the problem I have: > %global snapdate 20150128 > %global commit 8b5f409afc9b35e0fe71ceb46d97292d79a7158b > %global shortcommit %(c=%{commit}; echo ${c:0:7}) > > %global realname stapler > > Name: pdf%{realname} > # The Version is hidden in the stapler script > Version: 0.3.0 > Release: 0.%{snapdate}git%{shortcommit}%{?dist} > Summary: Python-based PDF toolkit alternative to obsoleted pdftk > > Group: Applications/System > License: BSD > URL: https://github.com/hellerbarde/%{realname} > Source0: https://github.com/hellerbarde/%{realname}/archive/%{commit}/%{realname}-%{snapdate}git%{shortcommit}.tar.gz ..... So, I try: % rpmbuild -bb pdfstapler.spec error: File /home/user/rpmbuild/SOURCES/stapler-20150128git8b5f409.tar.gz: No such file or directory So, it turns out that I don't quite have a file called stapler-20150128git8b5f409.tar.gz. I guess this is coming from the %{realname}-%{snapdate}git%{shortcommit}.tar.gz but I am not sure whether there is a file which is called stapler-20150128git8b5f409.tar.gz. Where do you find this from? Sorry about the naivety of the question but I am not as familiar with git as I am with subversion.
