Description Moritz Barsnick 2004-10-12 15:52:47 UTC
Description of problem:
In the SPEC file, there is an unescaped RPM macro, namely %configure. 
This is unfortunately expanded in the changelog (rpm -qp --changelog 
$file.rpm), and is a bit annoying.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. tail +`fgrep -n %changelog nfs-utils.spec | cut -d: -f1`  nfs-
utils.spec | fgrep %configure
 
Actual results:
- Build with %configure

Expected results:
- Build with %%configure

Comment 1 Moritz Barsnick 2005-11-01 09:49:59 UTC
Oh, it seems the SPEC file has been changed in the meantime. Well, then I agree 
with this closure as "not a bug".  :-)  Thanks.

Comment 2 Moritz Barsnick 2005-11-01 10:01:48 UTC
Darn! Damned browser! Who changed the component to 4Suite???

Please excuse the mishap. I'm changing it back to nfs-utils.

So, let me please withdraw my previous comment #1.

I still consider it a bug, as rpm -qp --changelog nfs-utils-1.0.7-19.FC5.src.rpm 
says:

I don't really thinks that's intended. And as it sometimes changes, it becomes a 
dynamic changelog entry.

The intention must be:
[...]
* Mon Nov 18 2002 Stephen C. Tweedie <sct>

- Build with %configure
- Add nhfsgraph, nhfsnums and nhfsrun to the files list

* Mon Nov 11 2002 Stephen C. Tweedie <sct>
[...]

I will _not_ take the liberty to reopen this bug. Please, _you_ go ahead and 
judge...

Thanks,
Moritz

Comment 3 Steve Dickson 2005-11-01 11:18:31 UTC
Ok I understand what you are saying... sorry for the confusion...
I've made the following changes to the spec file:
diff -r1.71 nfs-utils.spec
550c550
< - Build with %configure
---
> - Build with %%configure
and have check them into our CVS tree and will be
available on the next release of nfs-utils since I would
rather wait to bump the version number.  Unless you need
this fixed released sooner, just let me know...
