From: Pat Riehecky <riehecky at fnal.gov> rpmbuild fails to parse specfiles that have the SCL macros in them when the basic macros are not defined. I didn't really see a way around forcing them into place when needed. Check out any of the SCL 1.1 repos and try return_disttag.sh without scl-utils-build installed, it is unable to extract the dist tag as RPM things the spec is not correctly setup. Pat Riehecky (1): SCL macros can prevent rpmbuild from examining some spec files. into_srpm.sh | 8 ++++++++ return_disttag.sh | 6 ++++++ 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
