If you remove the line:
%define version 0.1.0

And replace:
Version: %{version}
with:
Version: 0.1.0

then rpm will define the %{version} macro for you, which you can use in the rest
of the spec file just as you are now. Defining it manually is simply redundant.

Same goes for the %{name} and %{release} macros; there is no need to define them
manually.
