Hi, the kernel-*.spec files contain a lot of hardcoded strings, such as 2.6.22.1 for what's currently cooking. This causes a major pain when trying to bump the version by oneself. All occurrences need to be replaced by more-or-less blunt scripts (simple perl -pe 's///'), since the .in files are not available. If these could please be added to the kernel-source pack, that would greatly simplify work. Moreover, I think that strings, where possible, should be replaced by rpm tags. For example this obvious one: Provides: kernel = 2.6.22.1-%source_rel (and other places) this can easily be replaced by %version-%source_rel. The other major thing being Name: kernel-default (and other places of course) which could be replaced - since the macro is already there - by Name: kernel-%build_flavor thanks, Jan -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
