Hi all,
I am working on rubygem-asciidoctor-mallard review [1] and since there
was not released stable version yet, the pre-release version (actually
git snapshot) needs to be packaged. And now I realized it is more PITA
then it should be.
The main issue is with the way, how pre-release packages are versioned.
E.g. in rubygem-asciidoctor-mallard case, the upstream version is
"0.1.0.dev" which transforms in Fedora into "0.1.0-0.1.dev" and
subsequently, no standard macro works.
But the remedy could be quite simple. With this change:
```
$ git diff
diff --git a/macros.rubygems b/macros.rubygems
index 45c59c4..0652ec6 100644
--- a/macros.rubygems
+++ b/macros.rubygems

It would be enough to specify:
```
%global prerelease .dev
```
in your .spec file and half of the lines I needed to add into the
pre-release package could be removed.
Please note that this is inspired by macros Mamoru is using for ages in
some of his packages (Nokogiri for example [2]).
(Actually, now I realized that the proposal in the review is more
complex then it should be, but that is a different story ...)
Any thoughts?
