Hi,
I need to get a spec file with all macro exanded, so i can extract info of some tags, that my be consitional based on macros, i know that some rpm utils need to make this to figure out dependencies and so on.
I don't know if is posible to get a preprocesed spec file with actual Centos & rpm tools, if this is on librpm, i can make a simple tool to make this.
Regards.

That does not make any sense to me, what is it that you want in clear terms ?
are you just looking for something like : 'yum install redhat-rpm-config rpm-build && rpm --showrc'

Also, if you are trying to get buildtime results, you can add %dump to the spec file, and grab buildtime output
Hi,
Excuse my poor explication.
This is my scenario, now i have some tasks that i make semi-manual that i want to automate, basically i have some package sources (spec, patches and in some cases additional files), this packages are fetched from SCM and converted to SRPMs, to build later with mock, but i need to build these packages in order with some staging process, so there are some inter-package dependeces, this is the part that i make semi-automatic.
The problem arrises, when some of these spec support diferent archs os distributions, some of then have macros that include / exclude certain build requisites (also run-time requisites), so a grep of spec give me all requires (some of then are inside a 'if' that evaluates false), it's a roundabout; from my part, but i'm triing to solve this.
Basically that i want is the spec file as rpmbuild interpret it, i try to find somethink but i can't figure a tool to get this info (also some other info of the spec that is conditional based on rpm macros), now i'm surfing the rpm API and i think that i'm near the solution.
Regards.
