In regard to: Re: Appreciate advice on %if %foo || %bar syntax, Tony...:
%define is_rhel5 %(test -f /etc/redhat-release && cat /etc/redhat-release |
egrep -q 'release 5' && echo 1 || echo 0)
Thanks from somebody else :)
Quite another thing is, that a more rational test would be something like:
"test -f /etc/redhat-release && grep 'release 5' /etc/redhat-release &&
echo 1 || echo 0"
Except you probably want the -q option to grep, otherwise your macro might
end up resulting in
release 51
Getting rid of the useless cat was a good move, but I don't see any reason
to prefer grep over egrep here.
