Bug 999584

A cute fix that would make the existing hack keep working would be to append a specially-formatted comment to /usr/share/selinux/devel/policyhelp, e.g.:

xdg-open file:///usr/share/doc/selinux-policy/html/index.html # /selinux-policy-%{version}/

A follow-on comment on the original thread suggests a better way:

  [D]rop it into /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d so it can
  be used even easier in specfiles, something like 

  echo '%%_selinux_policy_version %{version}' > \
      $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_rpmconfigdir}/macros.d/selinux-policy.macros

I like this too.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.12.1-76.fc20.noarch

Added
mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_rpmconfigdir}/macros.d
echo '%%_selinux_policy_version %{version}-%{release}' > %{buildroot}%{_rpmconfigdir}/macros.d/selinux-policy.macros

 cat /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/selinux-policy.macros 
%_selinux_policy_version 3.12.1-76

This doesn't work; I think the filename needs to start with "macros":

# rpm --eval '%_selinux_policy_version'
%_selinux_policy_version
# ls -l /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d
total 16
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2309 Sep  6 06:55 macros.systemd
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   40 Sep  5 14:57 selinux-policy.macros
# cp /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/selinux-policy.macros /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.selinux-policy
# rpm --eval '%_selinux_policy_version'
3.12.1-76.fc21

This is fixed in -79 in Rawhide but I don't see any selinux-policy updates for F-20 in bodhi.

I manually downloaded -80 for F-20 from koji and that worked for me.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

This seems to be fixed in at least Fedora 21 and up:

$ cat /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.selinux-policy 
%_selinux_policy_version 3.13.1-116.fc23

Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
