In regard to: Re: determine package arch without/before building package?,...:
Given a spec file foo.spec, is there a way use rpmbuild or rpm to determine what the package architecture will be without (or before) actually building the package? I know I could use sed or grep on the spec file looking for BuildArch, but I'm wondering if there's a way to essentially run the equivalent of a macro --eval query against a spec file.The "recommended" way is this ./rpm -q --qf '%{arch}\n' --specsrpm rpm.spec x86_64
Thanks Jeff, that worked perfectly, at least with RPM 5.x.
