Not everything has to be an RPM macro ... And I'm not even sure how you would extract the value of these macros from the .spec file for external consumption. Parsing RPM .spec files yourself is very hard, and RPM's own spec parsing machinery doesn't really expose all that much of its innards to the outside via its API. I've spent a few minutes working on a DRAFT of my suggested "SourceScript"-based functionality for spectool here: https://pagure.io/rpmdevtools/pull-request/94 It was surprisingly simple to implement, works just fine, and integrates with the default "spectool -g *.spec" use case. It just calls the specified script with the value of the .spec file's "Version" tag as an argument (making it unnecessary to parse the .spec file in the script for a second time, just to extract the version string again). Adding other CLI arguments (though I wouldn't know any argument other than "%{version}" that would be useful here) would be simple. I'd be interested to see whether that would be enough to satisfy the use case mentioned at the start of the thread, though I think the current implementation should be flexible enough (maybe too flexible, even).
