Since I was thinking this the wrong way, to make it clearer...

**without** the rebuild counter. The only real problem with this is
that it generates differences in other packages that depend on it.
If we remove the *full* release number from KDE_VERSION_STRING:
- There will be no differences for kdelibs4 itself. If the spec file
is changed the package will get rebuilt and published, and that will
trigger the rebuild of dependent packages.
- Dependent packages will get rebuilt, but what we gain is that they
will not be published if there is no need. Right now they are
published if the generated binaries depend on the KDE_VERSION_STRING
value (at least every app with an About box)

So there is no gain in build power (perhaps in "second level"
dependencies), only in bandwidth.


Without a better way, I created SR #38665 with:

if [ '%{_project}' != KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop -a \
     '%{_project}' != KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop -a \
     '%{_project}' != KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop -a \
     '%{_project}' != openSUSE:Factory ] ; then
  sed -ri "s,#cmakedefine KDE_VERSION_STRING
\"@KDE_VERSION_STRING@\",#cmakedefine KDE_VERSION_STRING
\"@KDE_VERSION_STRING@ \\\\\"release $(echo %release | cut -d.
-f-1)\\\\\"\"," kdecore/util/kdeversion.h.cmake
