Just tried the following in an rpm spec file
%define so .so
When I tried building with this (rpmbuild -bb), I got
error: Macro %so has illegal name (%define) [ ... ]
As long as I remember macro should be at least 3 character long.
Why - I have no idea.
Right. You know, when I checked some of the docs again after you said
that, I found the following in /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.4.2/macros:
Name may be composed of alphanumeric characters, and the character
`_' and must be at least 3 characters in length.
Somehow I hadn't noticed this earlier...
Thanks,
