Re: [PATCH] Small script to patch .spec for Suse

Josef Weidendorfer [off-list ref] writes:

Everytime I update and want to generate RPM packages for
my Suse distribution, I have to patch the git-core.spec.in
Here is the current script for patching. It is only about
package names, so a seperate .spec file would
be overkill and a maintenance problem for me.

I've applied the patch from HPA to update it to git.spec already
in my tree, so your script would not work any more ;-)

But seriously, I suspect we should take a hint from the fact
that "git.spec.in" has ".in" in its name already.

Right now, git.spec is generated with this:

    git.spec: git.spec.in Makefile
            sed -e 's/@@VERSION@@/$(GIT_VERSION)/g' < $< > $@

So presumably you could do something like this:

and have something like this in the Makefile when you munge
git.spec.in to produce git.spec for use with rpmbuild?
