I'm about to pull some hair out here. I put a simple spec file together
so I could continue my trend of managing all software I install on my
system using rpms. I'm trying to put together the spec file for the
package ltt-0.9.6.-pre4.tar.bz2 (The linux trace toolkit).
I keep getting an error "error: line 19: Illegal char '-' in version:
Version: 0.9.6-pre4" when I run an rpmbuild command on my spec file. Am
I missing something obvious here. I can't seem to get version numbers
with hyphens to work.
I've tried all sorts of permutations and combinations of separating the
%{version} and %{subversion} macros, and no matter what I do, it fails
on the '-'. I'd like to keep the versioning consistent with the source
package - please HELP!!!
My spec file looks something like this:
Summary: LTT trace toolkit user space tools
#%define version 0.9.6-pre4
%define version 0.9.6
%define subversion pre4
Name: ltt-tools
Prefix: /usr
Provides: ltt-tools
Group: Development/Languages
License: GPL
Release: 1
Source: ltt-%{version}-%{subversion}.tar.bz2
Version: %{version}-%{subversion}
BuildRoot: /tmp/lttrpm
