https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211831 --- Comment #14 from Gerald Cox <gbcox@xxxxxx> --- (In reply to Michael Schwendt (Fedora Packager Sponsors Group) from comment #12) > What becomes easier? > > You can rearrange the lines in your spec file to move "Name:", "Version:" > and "Release:" to the top with an empty line for better readability. You are > not forced to copy the order of the lines from other people's spec files. > > And yes, the tags "Name:", "Version:" and "Release:" define %{name}, > %{version} and %{release}, respectively. Defining them as globals prior to > assigning them to the tags doesn't add any benefit. > > The redefinition bears a risk even. Consider this: > > %global release 1 > Release: %{release}%{?dist} > > The "Release:" tag overrides the definition of %{release}. Through-out the > spec file where you use %{release}, its value will not be 1 due to the > redefinition. Michael, Thanks for taking the time to comment.
