I do this -
at very top of spec file:
%define my_build yjl.1
Then in the normal place
Name: foobar
Version: 20.12
Release: 3.%{my_build}
-=-
That makes more sense to me than defining name and then using Name:
with the defined %{name} macro.
But that's just me.
In the future I may define what release/distro it is being built for -
but I don't think so, my packages are intended to be installed via yum
which should take care of that - by grabbing them from the right
directory.
