AFAIK, Mandriva uses a macro called %mkrel, which instructs their build server to auto create the release number.
Release: %mkrel
If the packager doesn't want this to be automatic, then he can force the number in one of the two ways:
Release: %mkrel 1 or Release: 1
Do you plan to implement something like this?
I have an issue with OpenVZ suse kernels because of the auto release assign. kernel-source packages have different from binary packages release number. This follows in nightmare while building unsupported modules over this kernels because of the wrong symlinks.
This is an open topic to be discussed atm. In general I do see two possibilities: 1. declare such dependencies to %release as illegal. Because a rebuild does not make a package (kernel) incompatibel. 2. support release number copies via build service links. I am atm in favour of solution 1., but our kernel people needs to agree ... bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
