If someone can point me around that, that would be great. You just have to make sure it's defined to something like 0 so that the specfile is syntactically correct. Usually this is done with something like: %{!?octave_api: %define octave_api %(octave-config -p API_VERSION || 0)} assuming that even parses. - J< -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
