Comment:
So, a key factor in this ticket is the Python version involved, which
hasn't been mentioned. Over the years, bdist_rpm has been made more and
more robust as people have used it, making it operate in line with rpm's
requirements, whilst still accepting normal-looking input (for example,
versions containing hyphens, which are pretty common in practice).
Thus, python 2.5 has no problems with Django's version string, since it
puts both version_info (with hyphens replaced by underscores) and
unmangled_version_info (the original string, used to construct the
`Source0` line in the spec file). Python 2.4 and earlier didn't do this.
So I'd have to guess that the two people seeing this problem are using
earlier versions of Python.
I'll have a think about whether there's something we can do for those
versions when bdist_rpm is running, since I'd like this to work.
Restricting our version strings just to avoid this one particular,
relative edge-case (building rpms on older versions of Python) isn't a
solution, but we might be able to do something in setup.py.
