I think he's saying that if you do this: Name: foo then you can subsequently use %name elsewhere in the spec and all will be well. But if you use: Version: 1.0 then you cannot use %version elsewhere in the spec. So defining it manually is the best way to do it so it can be used elsewhere. However, I could not replicate that here on my pre-RPM5 cooker box. Using the version with the tag and using %version worked just fine. So I think I have misinterpreted too :s Col -- Colin Guthrie mageia(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
