Hello fellow packagers,
The %{version_no_tilde} macro is a "convenient" way of converting RPM
version strings into "SemVer-ish" (or even Python-ish) version
strings. It currently lives with the Rust macros.
However, the macro is a bit weird, hard to use, and sometimes has
"surprising" results. No Rust spec files that have been generated with
recent versions of rust2rpm use it - and I plan to do a round of "spec
refreshes with recent rust2rpm" to remove many of the remaining uses.
I see that it is in use in some non-Rust packages by now. But sooner
rather than later, no Rust packages will use this macro
So I think it would make sense to move it into a different package and
/ or to "fix" it for some weird behaviour.
Fabio
