Hi,

I was doing rebase for gutenprint pre-release in recent rawhide (fc27)
and I couldn't build it because I had %VERSION macro defined by myself
and it got rewritten by default macro %version. That indicates rpm
macros have been case insensitive since fc27 (colleague told me the same
situation is in fc26 too, but I encountered it in fc27).

Isn't this because "Version" is the name of a tag? Just like Name and
Release. And Tag names are not case-sensitive, so you could write this
in your spec file:

VERSION: 12.34

Reusing those for your own macros seems like a very bad idea and bound
to lead to confusion. Does %version refer to the VERSION tag? Or does
%VERSION refer to that?
