Since you are not using the "-" in the version, you can remove the

 %define VERSION 9.6.0

and just use:
 Version: 9.6.0

Then future references to version will be %{version}

Yes.  macros are expanded even in comments.  You can do this instead:

# %%define PATCHVER 1

Thank you for all those precious information.
