There is at least no "legal way". What you want to do is against all RPM principles. A src.rpm should result in deterministic binary RPMs. That you can manipulate the result with macro settings *during* the build (that also can effect version and release, e.g. using %dist) is already questionnable from a purist point of view, but still "legal". -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
