From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: It would be fair to have a default user-defined epoch and a default user-defined release tag for new spec file. Please look at the (short) patch against the rpm-spec-mode.el file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-21.2-33 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emacs & 2. C-x C-f foo.spec RET Actual Results: For the release tag : Release: 1 and no epoch tag. Additional info: Release tag to have the rpm-spec-default-release value instead of "1". Mandrake packagers could have 1mdk, fedora packagers "0.fdr.1", Matthias Saou from freshrpms.net fr1, etc.. whatever. Useful thing. (i think).
Created attachment 91548 [details] Patch against rpm-spec-mode.el
I agree about default release, but the need for a default epoche seems more dubious to me (epoches should be avoided as far as possible). At least I don't think epoche should be included when there isn't a default. (Btw I prefer unified diffs ("diff -u").) Please send your patch to the maintainer of rpm-spec-mode.el: Stig Bjørlykke <stigb>, so that he can include it in the next release.
