Description Kamil Páral 2010-01-14 09:56:37 UTC
Koji builds the SRPM in a fairly empty environment. Not all rpm macro definitions may be available at that time. The built SRPM should not contain unexpanded macros in any text field like %description.

We have received this ticket as a part of our comparative testing tool - rpmguard:
https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa/ticket/108
We believe this is more likely concern of rpmlint so we redirect the request here.

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2010-01-14 17:25:03 UTC
rpmlint should already do that for summary, description, group, buildhost, license, and changelog.  Do you have an reproducer where it doesn't?  I suppose more tags could be added to the list of checked ones though.

$ rpm -qp --qf="%{DESCRIPTION}\n" foo-1.0-1.fc11.src.rpm
Foo %foo bar

$ rpmlint foo-1.0-1.fc11.src.rpm
foo.src: W: macro-in-%description %foo

$ rpmlint -I macro-in-%description
macro-in-%description:
This tag contains something that looks like an unexpanded macro; this is often
the sign of a misspelling. Please check your specfile.

Adding Adam Jackson to needinfo as he is the reporter of the original bug.

Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2010-01-19 22:09:18 UTC
Upstream rpmlint svn now checks for unexpanded macros in a lot more tags, this will most likely be in rpmlint 0.93 once released.

Comment 4 Ville Skyttä 2010-01-25 23:19:56 UTC
Closing as rawhide (0.93-2 will hopefully appear in the next push), feel free to reopen or submit another bug if some tags for which this would be beneficial got left out.
