Hello All!
One of my packages defines an essential information regarding the API
(API version string) during the %build stage. It's possible to extract
this information by invoking a binary from the %{buildroot} with
certain parameters. I'd love to add this information to the spec-file
during to Provides. Something like
Provides: %{name}_api_ver = %(%{buildroot}/bin/app --some params)
Unfortunately it seems that rpmbuild tries to expand all macros at the
very initial stage when this binary isn't available yet (not built
yet). I've tied playing with %{eval: ...} but without any luck.
Could anyone tell me if it's possible at all? And if possible how
could this be achieved?
Also I wonder why even rpmbuild -bs performs macro expansion? I
thought it should just pack spec-file and sources/patches together.
