I surmise from this that
%if 0%{?build_jack_svn}
is *always* true, since
0%{?build_jack_svn}
always has a value.
If so, the "%if" statement above is has no effect, since it is always
true, and the spec file fragment is probably buggy.
Please pardon my ignorance. My experience with RPMs up to now has been
entirely limited to installing and sometimes building them.
