No. Rawhide is rolling and the version may change over time. For example, in the next few weeks, Fedora will switch rawhide to 25 as F24 is branched.

But we have also %suse_version for Tumbleweed and Factory. It will be updated from time to time. Couldn't this be do for Rawhide too?

Use the %{fedora} macro if you need to do any fedora version check. That's part of fedora-release package (which is in the build chroots).

Hm, I may try that but I don't like to change my packages just for Rawhide support. IMO something like 0%{?fedora_version} > xx should work out of the box. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

So is openSUSE:Factory/Tumbleweed, yet this one has a version.

Keep in mind that %{fedora_version} is an OBS-specific macro, whereas %{fedora} is the one provided by the distribution. Both are supported by OBS, but the latter is native to the distribution. As for Factory/Tumbleweed, it's easier for them to do that because the distro is engineered within the build.o.o instance itself. Rawhide is not, which means it must be externally tracked. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

So %fedora is safe to be used instead of %fedora_version? It will also be expanded and removed in the specfile of the src.rpm?

Not in rawhide (since the macros are processed at rpmbuild, but not obs-build), but in released versions, it should.

I guess it wouldn't be too much work if the one who imports next released Fedora XX also increases Rawhide's version macro.

Otherwise it could be also ok to set fedora_version=99 forever for Rawhide.

If someone on the build-o-o team would prefer to track it more closely, then they could watch the Fedora schedules for the branching point and bump the %{fedora} and %{fedora_version} macros if they want to include them in the rawhide definitions, along with adding the branched release target.
