Mock and CMS

the tarball creation uses the Version defined in the spec file:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=mock.git;a=blob;f=py/mockbuild/scm.py#l127

However, if your spec file contains some complex defines and macros 
which you then use for Version the spec parser might perhaps get 
confused. It's best that you first try just with Version: 1.0.1 and then 
see how the parser copes with defines and macros if you need them.

I'm not aware of any related blog posts but this LWN article provides a 
generic introduction:
