Hi, here is my stupid question of the day:

spec-cleaner wants to move defines to the beginning of the spec file. But I need it after Name and Version like that:

Name: hmcfgusb Version: 0.103 %define tarball %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz ... URL: https://git.zerfleddert.de/hmcfgusb/releases/%{tarball} Source: %{tarball}

spec-cleaner wants to turn it around, but then it does not work:

%define tarball %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz Name: hmcfgusb Version: 0.103 ...

Is it ok to ignore (in that case) spec-cleaner or is there a better way to achieve that?

It should work if you change %define to %global, but you're doing it wrong there.

The whole thing in URL should be in Source, and URL is supposed to be set to the project's home page.

So it'd look something like this:

URL: https://git.zerfleddert.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/hmcfgusb Source: https://git.zerfleddert.de/hmcfgusb/releases/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

Ah, thank you. So I'll need to check my other packages, too. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen,   Andreas Vetter Stellv.

This will work as long as the URL tag is specified after the Name and Version tags (if the URL tag is specified before Name or Version, some macros cannot be expanded).

Just some more clarification: With %define, macros in the body (in this case %{name} and %{version}) will be expanded at the time the macro is used. So defining %tarball before the Name and Version line works. This is different to %global, where macros in the body will be expanded right away.
