In fact its possible to do Requires: %%{opaqueN} >= %%{opaqueEVR} as well as %files %%{opaquebindir}/file and %post -p %%{opaqueinterpreter} for like 4-5 years now in RPM. Note: the double'd %% to ensure that the expansion is during install, not during build. Not also that _NO_ rebuild is needed whatsoever, I've also offered to end all the %{?dist} and %{?repo} vanity branding foolishness by doing an expansion on package identifiers. The far far harder issue is ensuring that the right values are configured in each and every context. That's no problem that can be solved by an RPM implementation. 73 de Jeff
