(Cross posting from the rpm list as I prefer to address a larger audience.) Hello Jeff, I wrote: > Referring you to > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124364 for the > patch.) > Attached is a patch that fixes this issue for the above macros, as well > as the backward compatibility macros %{PACKAGE_VERSION} and > %{PACKAGE_RELEASE}. And again you throw me a WONTFIX. I can understand you don't have time to write patches for every small bug yourself, but I do not understand why you reject a good patch for a real bug (macros %{version} and %{release} (ao) returning wrong values). I don't want to m/take this issue too personal, but I do take offense from this attitude. It severely decreases my motivation to contribute to this "community project" Fedora. This patch NOT ONLY fixes the backward compatibility macros %{PACKAGE_VERSION} and %{PACKAGE_RELEASE} BUT ALSO the currently supported macros %{version} and %{release}. If you provide these macros for users to configure their build environment they should return the correct values. This patch makes it so. Hence if it is correct it should be applied.
