For instance, the source are named like that : bind-9.5.2-P2.tar.gz bind-9.6.0-P1.tar.gz bind-9.2.9.tar.gz I try to define a generic spec file for BIND packaging, here is what I did : %define VERSION 9.6.0 </blockquote> </div> This define is redundant and unnecessary. Just put the version directly in the "Version:" tag, and rpm does the right thing. Version: 9.6.0 </blockquote><div> rpmbuild refuse to have "-" in Version tag. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -- Fedora-packaging mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-packaging@redhat.com" target="_blank">Fedora-packaging@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging</a> </blockquote></div>
