Using RPM to evaluate installed RPMS while building

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ok,

Might be a dumb question but I will ask all the same. Is it correct or incorrect to use rpm to evaluate installed packages to determine versions etc while building a package?

Example:

%define foobarver %(rpm -q foobar --qf '%{RPMTAG_VERSION}' | tail -1)

Is this the best way? Or should I query the app directly like:

foobar --version

and trim the out put?

Cheers

Mike
