There's a huge list of things like this that are basically just copy&paste from the wiki. I think the right medium-term approach is to generate .spec files from a file like .spec.in as part of the build process. I've been working on and off on the Makefile.common and koji modifications necessary for this approach, and I hope to have an updated version to post within a week or two. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
