Hi all,
I'm trying to build a bunch of .src.rpm files that are not
maintained by me and that I don't want to modify.
This can be done without problem.
But I also want to update all package releases to release.repo (say
repo is MY repository name (like .rf in rpmforge packages), or if
it could be the distro against which the package has been build
(like .EL4 in some redhat packages))
is there a way to define a macro saying something like
Release: %{release}.repo
That should work exactly as is.
(aside) I suggest choosing a name other than %{release} becuase
the value of %{release} will be different before and after
Release: %[release}.repo
i.e. Release: redefines %{release} when parsed.
i don't want to edit all spec files by hand and maintain a fork for
each package.
alternatively, if there is no solution with an rpm macro, I will
have to script it. is there a way to know the name of the spec file
from a srp.rpm source package ?
Generating a spec file is likely less hassle than using a macro imho.
This is likely easiest way to extract the name of the spec file:
$ rpm -qlp rpm-4.4.9-0.1.src.rpm | grep 'spec$'
rpm.spec
Note that "foo.spec" is just a convention even if widely used.
The spec file is always in the same location iirc, so this is likely
to work:
$ rpm -qlp rpm-4.4.9-0.1.src.rpm | tail -1
rpm.spec
There's also a file flag that marks a spec file in a src rpm iirc.
